Primary live-in caregiver

Russell Foster /Ralph Foster
17 July 2010 To Whom It May Concern: Nancy worked for me between the first of September, 2009 and 18 May, 2010 as a live-in caregiver for my father, Ralph. My father has dementia and is not capable of living on his own. Because I lived 350 miles away from my father, I relied heavily on Nancy to take care of my father. Her duties were to run the household and look after my father's needs. This included but was not limited to: Making and taking Ralph to doctor's appointments, and reporting back to me. Dispensing Ralph's medications three times per day, both pills and eye drops. Purchasing food and making meals. Keeping the house clean and sanitary. Taking the car in for service at my direction. Doing laundry and making sure Ralph selected clean clothes. Coordinated the activities of other, part-time caregivers who worked during her time off. Oversaw the use of the money and a charge card I provided for household expenses. My father thrived under her care. He gained some weight, which we had been trying to accomplish for some time. When I was present I heard a lot of laughter between them. Overall she took excellent care of Ralph. The position was terminated because I moved my dad to a memory care facility where I live. This was so I could see him much more often." Russell Foster Phone Number: 8055412386 Email: rtfoster@pacbell.net

I am personable and enjoy being a home care provider. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help others by assisting them with their activities of daily living. I enjoyed caring for many seniors over the years and learned quite a lot from them. I believe I'm a great caregiver because I have had extensive training in a skilled nursing facility as well as in many private homes. I also enjoy seeing the difference that I often make in people's lives. I became a nursing assistant back in 1982 and acquired my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license at the convalescent hospital where I worked. I then went on to work for several home care agencies and acquired my Certified Home HeaIth Aide (CHHA) license. I have worked as an independent contractor caregiver for years. I am willing to commute for full-time employment. I have great references and will be happy to submit them upon request.

I've been a caregiver for 14+ years. I have always had an urge to care for those who were in need. I believe everyone deserves to live with the dignity we are all entitled to. I see people not just clients. I am CPR and First Aide certified, fully insured with a safe vehicle, and a clean driving record.
