Jolanta R.

I have been a Caregiver/ CNA since 1998. I handle anything you throw my way. I have worked with people in early stages of demenita to the last stages of life ( hospice). I love the work I do because it keeps me humble. Working with people in all diferent stages in life is not for everyone. But I do believe this is my calling. Being a caregiver has also helped me become a better mother to my 5 children. Because without patience and understanding it can all go array. I'm hoping that one day I can take all the skills I have learned over the years and become a great nurse.

I've always been a caregiver in various ways, starting with my grandfather after my grandmother died. I live with my daughter and granddaughter in a beautiful home in northwest Phoenix near Glendale. During my career in healthcare I worked with Cardiac, CHF and COPD patients, not on a clinical level but I certainly know a lot about their needs having worked with them for 13 years. In 2014 I cared for 2 clients, one dying from age related causes and another from Conjestve Heart Failure. In the latter case, I worked with Hospice. In 2015 I began working with Senior Helpers. For the last year I worked through Senior Helpers I was part of a team of caregivers providing 24 hour care 7 days a week for an aging and declining client. I worked with Hospice until this client passed. Then I worked with two terminally ill cancer patients, again working with Hospice until they passed. In February 2017 I began working through Carelinx caring for an older woman with Alzheimer's. I am still currently caring for this wonderful lady 1 evening a week. I am also willing to act as a substitute caregiver when a regular is sick or on vacation. Call me whenever you need help and I'll try to be there for you!
