I am more of a Personal Assistant than a hands-on caregiver. I have 40+ years of office admin and computer expertise, so I specialize in daily money management for seniors - paperwork organizing, bill paying, troubleshooting billing errors, getting off junk mail lists and getting ready for taxes. I can offer some tech support, depending on the device. After my years of family, work and volunteer experience with seniors, I've become a lay expert on San Diego North County senior services and resources. I can provide family support and light case management and advocacy, if desired. Six years experience family caregiver and advocate; eight years paid caregiver. Experienced with dementia, hearing loss, chronic illness and post hospital patients. Excellent cook, homemaker, organizer. Safety conscious and responsible. Health conscious and can lead client in prescribed physical therapy exercises. Clear speaking voice, American born and educated. Great work ethic, self-motivated and professional. High standards of care. In addition to private clients, worked 2009- 2013 for several home care agencies. Expired registration with State of CA as Home Care Aide (DOJ LiveScan on file). Have DMV printout, negative TB test. Have car and insurance. I have passed numerous background checks in my previous employment at agencies and residential care facilities. 38 year San Diego resident, homeowner. (non smokers only; sorry no lift/transfer; no early mornings or nights) I am willing to do very light housekeeping *only* - sorry, no mopping or vacuuming floors, scrubbing tubs/showers, or pet care. Tidying up kitchen and bathroom, dusting, light plant care, empty trash, run a load of laundry, organizing, sorting mail OK. Infrequent and local (Tri-City area) client transportation only. For couples, a higher hourly rate will apply on a case-by-case basis. Thank you!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
