About Malaika

Look know further you have found the best in Home Health Care. I became a HHA/PCA to help people who may not be able to help themselves at times with the basic task in life. I have been in the field for 14 years. I have enjoyed every moment of my job from nursing facilities to home health care has brought me many rewarding feelings such as bonds I establish, clients I have met, and the client's happyness with the services I provide to them each and every day. The detailed care, grooming, attentiveness to small detail helps enhances my clients daily lives and keeps my client's feeling dignified, independent, safe mentally, emotionally and physically. For those cases where more care is needed because of physical restraint you nor your loved one need not feel alone, but safe knowing there in goods hands and care is being administered properly and safely. I have experience with ALS, Dementia, Alzheimer's, Stroke and Hospice Care etc. I am licensed with the State of California and can submit my license upon request. A memorable moment for me was with my clients successful recovery after beginning hit by a drunk driver to have my 24 hr. care made my client able to walk again after this horrific car accident where he suffered severe injuries and was immobilized. My consistency with his physical therapy played a major part in his recovery mentally and physically. This is one of many reasons I love what I do and take so much pride in caring for others. I am also CPR Certified which can be provided at time of interview. (FYI service fee can be negotiated)

$19.00/hour · Sacramento, CA
I have been a caregiver since 2009. I have a great passion for taking care of others and have spent most of my working career doing so. I have extensive experience in almost every area providing care for this population. I have worked with a variety of Alzheimer's and dementia clients as well as Parkinson's, MS, Diabetes, severe respiratory issues, Huntington's disease , cancer and those on hospice all which include many different special needs. I have a degree in Psychology from CSUS that I earned in 1983. If there's something new I'm not familiar with, I'm more than willing to learn. I love to cook and most likely can make almost anything up on request. I'm always willing to do house cleaning and laundry. I take pride in my work and always go above and beyond what is expected of me. I enjoy conversing with those I provide care for, they always have such interesting memories and history. My mission is to always treat my clients with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. I also work at the San Juan Unified School District with Autistic preschool children which requires much energy, patience and understanding. I am also fully vaccinated. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications and how I can help you.

$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!
