About Anna

Hello! I'm a certified EMT now working as a Private Duty Aide for seniors in their homes and at various local facilities. I am also transitioning from a liberal arts degree to medical school with aspirations to practice geriatric medicine. Whether in the classroom or at work, most of my time is devoted to this special needs population. I believe there is a growing need for senior support in the Bay Area and the nation. Elder care is a burgeoning field and I want to bring my educational background, my passion, and my ingenuity to helping care for you or your loved ones. Find out how I can improve your quality of life and positively impact future health outcomes!

Experience & Education

Academic Tutor

Aug 2017 - Present
Private
I tutor a bright high-school senior who has ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. This entails reviewing referral data to develop goals; conferring with general educators on his educational, social, and emotional needs; tailoring teaching strategies to promote achievement; and monitoring progress through progress reports. I also maintain regular communication with my tutee's parents and assist them in understanding our education objectives and learning expectations. My tutee aspires to be an engineer and is pursuing higher education at community college in the fall. Helping him achieve these goals has been immeasurably rewarding and I look forward to supporting him in his future academic endeavors.

Home Health Aide

Dec 2016 - Mar 2018
Private
I provided in-residence care, including meal prep, manual transfers, med administration, companionship, dressing, bathing, toileting, and feeding for a client with a history of hemorrhagic stroke and focal neurological deficits. I created an individualized care plan and nutrition and exercise regimens. I provided daily palliative support and researched alternative medicines and over-the-counter options. I taught family and caregivers the safe use of specialized equipment such as a Hoyer lift. I had access to personal medical information while liaising between medical personnel and family members. I used my EMT training and to prevent my client from choking or hurting himself during seizures.

Private Duty Aide

May 2014 - Apr 2017
Visiting Angels
As a Private Duty Aide, I provided geriatric care in nursing homes and private residences. My responsibilities centered on activities of daily living, including administering simple prescribed medications; assisting with mobility and physical therapies; performing household tasks; preparing meals according to dietary restrictions; and assisting with bathing, toileting, and dressing. I also monitored patients' vital signs and accompanied patients to doctors' offices and hospitals. To ensure continuity of care, I maintained patients' care records; counseled patients and families on the use of special equipment for eating, mobility, and personal hygiene; and taught family members appropriate lifting and repositioning techniques. Lastly, I created a healing environment for clients through companionship and emotional support.

I am a compassionate caregiver who enjoys helping others. I came into caregiving when a family member became very ill. I am so proud I was able to care for her and provide appropriate amounts of support and comfort until she finally passed away. That experience deepened my compassion for others and a desire to help others live more independent lives.
