About Andrea

I love helping the elderly, i feel like they were once so independent and now they deserve quality care, and assistance. What i love about being a caregiver is the fact that im able to show empathy to my patients by assisting them and making them feel as comfortable as possible some of my patients are really ill and sometimes the only thing you can do is make them as comfortable as possible that's something i love to be able to give them.One of my personal achievements would be finishing school as a substance abuse counselor while working full time, i have worked with the elderly for so long that i wanted to accomplish school in a other area in my life to learn about all populations and these others struggle with. Im a dedicated person, im goal oriented and a passionate individual, i believe that my up bringing has had a positive impact on the Woman iam today.

Shalonda L.

$15.00/hour · Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Hello, My name is Shalonda. I am and have always been a compassionate person tending to the needs of others. I have been a caregiver since 2009 and I am currently a student attending college for nursing. I am a great caregiver because I actually care for my patients. I provide care to the best of my ability, the most comfortable and professional care that I could give to a person in need of assistance. I really enjoy helping others and that is why my goal is to become a registered nurse in a few short years. I also love to engage with the ones I care for such as telling or listening to stories and involving myself in activities such as crafts, sewing, and knitting. I am always looking for something new to learn so I don't mind learning a few new things here and there.

Temeka L.

$20.00/hour · Los Angeles, CA

I believe that I'm a great caregiver because I take pride in my work and I treat my clients as I would want my family treated. I know that it's about more than just providing care to the client, but also peace of mind to the clients family members, especially those who were or are the primary caregivers themselves. I understand that working together as a team with the family is important, but knowing when and how to manage a situation is equally as important. I love my work and making sure that my clients have the highest obtainable quality of life is important to me.
