5'8" and strong. Caring for seniors is an amazing job. I enjoy assisting and keeping the elderly company because they have lived through an experienced so much in life. I love listening to their stories and I take comfort in knowing I will always be there to help. While taking care of my 96-year-old Quadriplegic patient who had Diabetes, Dementia, Alzheimer's, and also stroked out 3 times and fell before my care I performed many tasks. I maintain health records of patient care, provided patient and family with emotional support, gave patient medicine (pill and liquid form), changed diapers/bed linens daily, washed and ironed patients' laundry, performed housekeeping entertained patient, converse with patient, or read aloud to patient, planed/purchased/prepared/served meals and perform a variety of duties as requested by client.
