About Carole

Became passionate as a Caregiver by first caring for those close to me in my personal life: my mom, her sister, and the mother of a dear friend. Began caring professionally in 2014 with various agencies in the County of Santa Cruz. My dedication and patience help me to be a great caregiver who works hard at making life easier for those requiring home care. It is my undying belief that all people be treated with kindness, dignity and respect. My [10-year old] background consists of Adult and Senior Care for those with dementia, Alzheimer's, cancer, Diabetes, heart disease, ALS, Parkinson's, stroke, epilepsy, developmental disabilities, as well as those recovering from surgery or illness. I am certified as a Companion Care Aide (CCA), as well as hold certification in CPR and First Aid. I have an even-tempered personality which allows me to remain calm and make prudent decisions during a crisis.

Having worked in various health care professions, I find it a passion of mine to work with our elderly senior populations. I have both professional and personal experience working with loved ones who may be suffering from Diabetes, requiring assistance with meal preparations, running errands, and providing positive companionship with someone who suffers from Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease. I am proud to say that I am an honorable person who truly cares about anyone they work with, and I will always treat all individuals I provide care for as if they are my own family.

In terms of handling a patient, I can say I have a lot of patience and perseverance. I can easily communicate and give rapport for them. For experience,I worked in a care home before so the task for medication, preparing food, monitoring the vital signs, assessing the patient was not hard for me. I can assure that I can give my best for taking care of my patient.
