Hello Prospective Clients, my name is Frank Mathieu, and I am a professional/private caregiver with over 10 years of care-giving experience. I believe I am a great caregiver because of my charitable and compassionate nature. I love to help people and see them thrive. Working as a caregiver gives me the satisfaction of making a positive contribution to society and making a difference in people's lives. I initially started care providing back in 1994, helping out my cousin's mother in New Jersey. Aunt Clotilde (I called her back then). Aunt Clotilde was diabetic and had several health issues that included: obesity and high blood pressure. I took care of Aunt Clotilde for several years administering insulin shots, preparing meals, monitoring her blood pressure and going on walks). My professional care providing experience began in 2004 when I moved back to California (my home town). Shortly after my return home, my sibling and I signed up with a nursing care agency in Los Angeles and started working after training. I have also worked with other agencies and have done private care. I enjoy working with the elderly and I look forward to working with the care.com community.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
