Hello. I have worked in senior care for over four years through an agency and approximately three years independently. The last two years were spent with a wonderful lady who was on hospice the whole time with liver cancer. Her and I developed a wonderful bond from the first day. Her and her family were wonderful to work for. She became one of my best friends. She lost her battle with cancer over a year ago. Her level of care started at a low level and progressed to intensive care over time. I worked in well with her team of hospice nurses, CNA's, etc. I provided back up support for her husband to help take some of the load off of him by helping with laundry, meal preparation, phone assistance, light housekeeping, dishes, greeting family members, etc. I learned to be flexible to meet the needs of the client and her husband. I miss my dear friend and would like to have the opportunity to bond with another client. I have assisted several other clients as well with various other medical conditions. I also provide services such as transportation, errands, bathing assistance and dressing, medication reminders, etc. My goal is to assist with whatever need there is. I am a trustworthy, detailed, and caring individual. For the last ten months, I have been babysitting infants and toddlers as well.
