About Monique

I am a very compassionate and understanding caregiver. I listen to the needs of my clients and can give reference on the two clients I faithfully cared for for long term. I have worked for over twenty years as a caregiver, before I was paid to do it. I cared for my disabled sister who had and have seizures and still does rely completely on others for everything. I cared for my mothers infected wounds from diabetes and also her arthritis plus checked her blood sugar and keept her from going into diabetic shock. I can deduce diabetic shock and can recognize an infected wound. I know how to work a g-t-tube and change depends for adults. Plus I have experience log rolling and using a Hoyt lift. I have cared for a quadriplegic through Maxim Health Care as a respite care worker when I first turned eighteen years old. This care allowed me to learn the lift training, feeding tube usage, log rolling and also administering breathing treatments. I am also IHSS certified.

My Last Job was a little over 2 years ago. Caring for a couple Husband and wife. Full care for both. Husband was blind, his wife was crippled and had a colostomy bag. duties including bathing, dressing , cooking . helping with bathroom duties , changing the colostomy bag. Light house keeping Doctor Appointments, Shopping, Visiting with them. Both people were a joy to help. She passed on suddenly and sadly he followed within weeks. This was in late 2021 I have been caring for myself and enjoying my family since then. I have 30 years worth of care giving , so many jobs I am sure I have forgotten about some perhaps a job I had for a week then the client passed on. Some Jobs only lasted a few weeks others a few years. They range from quadriplegic to just needing companionship years and years worth of experience. Nothing can train a person like hands on Nothing . Two things that no one can train a person for are love for people and Compassion these are not skills that can be taught yet they are a major component in this field. you take that Compassion add it to a deep desire to learn and help and you end up with a fantastic Caregiver No two personality's are alike you learn people it is a amazing journey.
