About Carrie

I started in the medical field at 18, successfully as a ward clerk in Intensive and Coronary Care. I successfully worked as a ward clerk in a hospital Emergency Room for over 3 years. I have been detailed and successful for over 3O years in the financial departments at 3 Orange County hospitals, as well as doctor offices, a medical group and a surgi-center. I began caregiving in my home in 2011. I cared for an elderly gentlemen with many needs for 3 years. I found it rewarding. I have cared for two ladies with dementia/Alzheimer's as well as blindness. I am honest, trustworthy, compassionate, empathic, kind, reliable, a good listener with an excellent attendance record and driving record. My car is well maintained and safe. My clients are very satisfied with the care I provided. I have 4 very positive letters of recommendations that I can forward to you. I have a positive attitude and I can follow a recipe and known as a good cook. The thing I enjoy the most about caregiving is assisting someone in need and making a difference in their lives. I genuinely care about people. I would like to meet you and have an interview to see if we would be a good fit for each other. I live in Anaheim.
