About Calvin

I am a very compassionate person with a lot of friends and NO enemies. I have friends through all walks of life from young to old, party goers and home bodies. I love being a Caregiver because not only does it give me the opportunity to meet someone new and engage in building a relationship with the person I work for but also lets my true nature as a person shine! I'm a very fast learner and am more than willing to cooperate in training in areas I lack. I absolutely love music, and am actually a musical artist myself. I play guitar, sing, and have dabbled with the Piano. Recently I began cinematography and photography. I am not strictly a musical artist in actuality I love EVERY form of art, from drawing to claymation, Painting to pictures. To whoever contacts me I hope we can get to know each other and build a long lasting and trusting work relationship!

Caregiver

Dec 2011 - Dec 2012
Independant Contracter, Reverend John Green
Worked with the Rev, as I called him, in compassionate care for Alzheimer's. My duties included watching over him through the night, as well as minor bathing (bed bathing with warm toilet) and urinary assistance. I worked with the Rev in the hospital for a time and was lightly trained in bathroom care as well as in bed making. I loved the time I spent with the Rev and his family and fit right well with my employers.

I am a driven compassionate person who is dedicated to helping and taking care of those who cant take care of themselves, Due to most of my family members being elderly or in need of specific kinds of care I feel its my duty as the youngest to take care and look after them the best I can, Since leaving Fresno City College I have taken care of people, from level 14 grouphomes to elder care facilities down to battered womens shelters, and transsexual boys homes, to respite care cases, so my life work has been helping others. Im proud of lots of accomplishments I have achieved in this feild but Im most proid of a particular time when I was able to rescue an elevator which had gotten stuck between two foors in an elevator with 3 elderly men and one lady, I was able to keep all clents calm until someone was abled to help me lift all involved out of the situation to saftey with no deaths or injuries, I was accommodated by the city and families of the victims.

Being a caregiver can be a rewarding experience. I have a passion for putting others in need first. It is a set of intrinsic qualities that certain human beings possess and others do not. It is all about personality and how that personality fits with the patient and the members of their family. It’s just as simple and just as complicated as that.
