About Larissa

I have had the deepest pleasure of being a Certified Nursing Assistant for the last two years. Caring for those who cannot care for themselves is not only humbling, but it brings me such joy to know I'm allowed to be there for ups and downs that come along with the journey of life. I have had the opportunity of working with many different levels of capabilities in patients, which has made me mold-able and prepared for most situations. I'm a quick learner and the comfort of my patients is always my first priority. Along with my Nurses Aide Certificate, I also have my BLS and CPI certificates.

$15.00/hour · Phoenix, AZ
Four years ago I retired from nursing. Recently, I moved to Phoenix Arizona to be near family. I have one married daughter in Phoenix where I presently reside, and another married daughter in Peoria. My daughter and son-in-law in Peoria have one daughter and are currently expecting their second child. Prior to moving here, my most recent pertinent work experience was as a homecare non-medical provider to an senior woman in her Kansas home. Though hired as "non-medical care provider" much of my assistance with this woman did revolve around her medical needs as she was an end-stage cancer patient, as well as diabetic. I helped manage her medication schedule, transportation and ensuring she went to medical/doctor appointments. I also monitored her daily health needs such as blood pressure, blood sugars, etc. I would like to care for you or a loved one in your home, and assist you with some of your care needs. I am willing to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparations, exercise/physical therapy programs, transportation and occasional errands or grocery shopping. I enjoy reading, baking, music, walking and spending time outdoors, as well as spending time with my family. I would be delighted to come work for you! --Freida McMahon
