Janet Alice G.

I believe that the elderly should be treated with respect, care, and offered caring assistance. My goal is to assist seniors so that they could maintain an independent lifestyle. At the same time, loved ones and family members could feel comfortable knowing that a caring person is there to help. In the past, I have worked with seniors and children with disabilities. I'll be happy to provide assistance in daily living which can include light housekeeping: sweeping, dusting, changing linen, washing dishes, etc. meal preparations, assistance in eating, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often snacks as well. Running errands grocery shopping, pharmacy, etc. taking client to medical appointments, keeping up on my clients' hygiene, lite physical/ massage therapy or exercise routine as needed, weekly laundry. I'm a very compassionate, loving, kind-hearted, intelligent, fast learner, good listener, patient, understanding, honest & humble, as well as trustworthy. Companionship is of high importance as well. My hours of availability are limited at this time; if weekends or other hours are required it can possibly be worked out if you are located in Riverside or if there is a need for a possible live-in position. For new clients, payscale can be negotiable I take into consideration needs, driving time, etc.

I have been a caregiver for over thirteen years, working with adults with mental disabilities as well as the elderly. I love people and thrive in the caregiving role. I am very respectful and kind. I am not overbearing yet very aware of the needs of clients. I am extremely thorough and responsible, have great references, and a real compassion for working with people in need of assistance. I feel the most confident in the role of the caregiver, I know the client is getting the best care possible. I am currently working to expand my range and depth of attending to the needs of the individuals I serve by attending a Holistic Health school that focuses on gentle, non-invasive therapies for a wide variety of physical and emotional healing and well-being including many modalities of massage and energy work.
