I've been a head caregiver in charge of other caregivers working as a team in clients homes. I've worked with seniors whith dementia, heart failure, diabetes and clients with Alzheimer's and many other medical conditions.I've also worked in the hospice for my clients where the job included shopping, light housekeeping,medical appointments,exercising, meal plans,personal hygiene and transfers plus medication reminders. I've been at my job 5 years,7 years until they no longer needed me for my service.I can be flexible with my schedule depending on days, hours and overtime. Willing to work some weekends but not every weekend. I have reliable transportation. I'm very compassionate at what I do or I would not be in the field. Please feel to contact me at any time.

I started as a caregiver when my father needed one (2016). I quickly discovered I was very good at all the different responsibilities and skills required. I dealt well with Kaiser doctors and eliminated more than 1/2 of their prescriptions, which were either duplications or unnecessary (as agreed by a med specialist @ Kaiser). I greatly enjoyed seeing my dad respond to my suggested few additional supplements and some mild exercises, which quickly returned him to his much improved condition of more than 10 years previous (he could walk easily, complete crossword puzzles and read books, remember and think more clearly - none of which he could do when I started - this took around 2 months). He died last year after his 95th birthday. I found another live-in caretaker job with a 79 year old guy with stage 4 prostate cancer and Parkinson's symptoms. He is adamant about not working with "Western" medicine. I have been helping him by designing and administering supplements while working with an acupuncturist and a Naturopathic doctor. We also interface with UCD Medical center for some testing and advice from their urology department. I am well versed in medical research and terminology, treatment, and testing. I am a computer professional of more than 40 years with associated technological skills and have a number of professional level skills including: most construction, gas engine mechanics (motorcycle, auto and larger, small engines too), home and yard maintenance, cooking, exercise for many levels and needs, ability to provide great ideas for fun and enjoyable activities and short trips (same day local) for interesting activities or events. I enjoy providing appreciated help to those in need - it gives me a personal sense of worth and good by helping others in need.
