About Holly

I'm a very well rounded healthcare provider for 24 years now. Most of my experience has been within a post acute rehabilitation hospital working as a CNA. My background is within many different areas of care from adolescents to the elder population. From basic companion care to medically complex. Assisting individuals with different ailments and disabilities, mental health, spinal rehabilitation quadriplegia/paraplegia, spinal decompression, dementia/alzheimer's, hospice care to name a few. For the past 14 years I've been providing in home health independently, as well as working with medical registries to keep my skills up to date and CNA certification current. I chose in home care apose to the hospital environment because home health gives an individual the peace of mind to go at their own pace comfortably and to heal peacefully at the comfort of their own home. I take great pride in the care I provide. I have excellent references and letters of recommendation. I'm professionally established in the general Sacramento and surrounding areas. I'm registered with the State of California Home Care Registry. I have current BLS/CPR certification. I'm COVID vaccinated and booster. I'm a very compassionate, attentive, reliable self starter of whom will always go above and beyond. My work is independently contracted. I can provide current certifications, resume, background, professional and personal references upon request.

Margaret M.

$25.00/hour · Carmichael, CA
My name is Margaret and I am actively seeking a caregiving position. I have been with my current client for 3 1/2 years but the time has come to make a change. I am a Dementia and Alzheimer's specialist. I am experienced in Memory Care. Memory Care clients are my favorite people in all of healthcare! Though my first pick is with the Dementia and Alzheimer's clients, I have had other clients with other conditions, such as, stroke, diabetes and congested heart failure etc.. In 2011 when my ex mother in law became sick I became one of her caregivers. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed caring for her. I do believe this is my calling. I was once offered a position as manager of a home health company. I did not think I could do that job. I was right because I need to be the caregiver not the office person. I love my job. I like everything about caregiving. I love my seniors. I love their stories and their laughter. I'm happy when they are happy. I look forward everyday to seeing my seniors. I love cooking, cleaning and fussing over my seniors, so I'm a natural at caregiving. Remember if you love what you do it's never a job. My fee starts at $25 an hour. My fee increases if the shift is split. Also would like employer to pay a share of taxes. I am currently working for $24 an hour but I am not so sure that after 36.5 months it's working. So money is not the deciding factor for me. If you are looking for an experienced Alzheimer and or Dementia CNA , I could be the one!
