About Barbara

What makes me a good caregiver is that I care and love helping others. In the last two years I have cared for two different woman, one of which has dementia and needed to get out of the house for errands, doctor appointments and companionship. It allowed her husband to have some alone time and allowed her to feel she had not lost her independence. The other woman is 92 years old. This job asked for a full time live in which I embraced. My duties included, cooking all her meals, shopping for all food, daily bathing and administering her medications. I also take her to needed appointments, and general outings. I love a clean house and keep her home as clean as I would my own. The reason I would be a good choice is that I am realible, trustworthy, and an excellent cook and driver. I am currently looking to relocate to Palm Springs, Indian Wells or La Quinta.

Textile Designer

Jan 1985 - Aug 2014
self-employed
I design textiles for Hotels and Casino's worldwide. I had 30 years of designing and was leveled by the recession. I have been doing in home care since 2013 because I love helping others. Caregiving [ live in ] would allow me to study computer design programs, in the instance, that I have some down time in the evenings or during nap time. I have a lot to learn, I was old school. This position would allow me to excel in both. Mostly, I am a good companion and would enjoy the oppertunity to help someone in need.

Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.
