About Cindy

Caring for elders can sometimes take a tremendous amount of patience, understanding, compassion and empathy while remembering the dignity and respect of the person you are caring for. Care giving is always something that has played a constant role in my life and I truly enjoy and appreciate the life experience, knowledge and wisdom gained from these clients. It's a great feeling to help in the progress of someone recovering from an accident, surgery or even stroke. But even the day to day tasks such as getting someones loved one safely through another day can be extremely challenging and yet the gratitude & appreciation from the family is a great feeling.

Private Husband & Wife

Cared for both husband (passed 2011) and wife (current ongoing). The husband fell in a construction accident and suffered a stroke while undergoing surgery leaving him partially paralyzed in addition to multiple additional health problems. The wife has a degenerative eye disease that has slowly robbed her of her vision over the years and is now completely blind. Everyday care for him including daily showering/bathing, dressing, ambulatory help (on a variety of levels as his health deteriorated), physical therapy, walking, exercise, doctor visits, toileting, medication. Later stage care escalated to help with eating (later stages), diapering etc. Her care included doctor visits, exercise, grocery shopping, errands, house keeping, paying bills, professional calls, banking, overseeing home maintenance, and help with cooking (was still her passion).

Mrs. S

Assisted with care as needed for this very energetic busy lady . My care for her was part time assisting with home chores she was no longer able to take care of such as gardening, lifting & moving heavy objects, pet care, housekeeping, help managing/monitoring medication and portable oxygen as well as companionship. Her conditions included COPD, Rheumatoid Arthritis, undergoing what became a complicated heart valve surgery. I met her in 1992 and always lived relatively close. Her family eventually had all moved out of state although were able to be present upon notification for urgent situations. She passed in 2011 at the age of 91.

I have been a caregiver since I was 18. I took care of my father who had esophageal cancer. I handled a gtube, medications, attachments for feedings, drs appts everything. From that time on i knew I could make a difference for those who need that help and companionship. I have worked for a company for a short time but I didnt like how they didn't follow through so I'd rather work for a family who can appreciate the care and love I can give to their loved ones. I know the struggles of giving your life to a sick or hurt family member and i understand help is really needed and I would love to offer my help.

I am a caregiver with 7 years of experience. I enjoy thoroughly working with seniors and I think I have the qualities so much needed for this stage of their lives. I am looking for a part-time position in Rancho Santa Margarita or its surroundings. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I have a college degree in Communications and speak English, Spanish and French. I am friendly, honest,reliable, patient and compassionate. I wonder how I would like to be treated when I reach that age and I do want to be treated with respect, love and care. We are all getting there! Feel free to contact all my references.
