About Kelly

I am a great Caregiver because I am passionate about caring for people and understand their needs. I have worked in residential care for the elderly facilities(RFCE), my work experience has shown me that a person should be cared for at home for as long as possible. That one on one personal care cannot be given at a care facility when assistance staff have to take care of so many clients. Being at home, one can have privacy, security, and a feeling of well being. I can provide the personal care my client requires. I am there to take care of the house, yard, cooking, cleaning, laundry. I am able to take my client to their appointments, shopping and activities. I have training in assisting Oxygen therapy, Input/Output, Bedside Care, Patient transfer, assisting with medication. In short I am the extra hands that my client needs to make their life more comfortable and give their family and friends the security my client is well cared for. I will not say I am an expert, to due so is to limit my ability to learn and to adapt to my client's needs; no two clients have the same needs or approach to those needs.

I like helping elderly. Its a fun job, challenging but rewarding. I have working in this field for many years and I am proud that so many lives had been changed, and lifted up through me. A life of 90 years old man who could not take care himself and the family were so busy, and he was able to survive for seven years. I have been caregiver and CNA for more than ten years. I have worked in nursing homes, hospital and private duty in California, then I moved to Colorado for better future, Unfortunately my family won't move there because of cold weather. So at this time I'm back to California to be together with my family and looking for a job here.
