About Merlin

I am a great caregiver for multiple situations because of my well rounded background. I have great abilities as a healthcare provider and homemaker. Those talents range from cooking nutritional, diet tailored meals, cleaning, campanionship, personal care, monitoring medications, and transportation assistance. I became a caregiver/registered CNA after assisting my father and grandmother during their illnesses which I found very fulfilling. During the past year it has been rewarding serving so many diverse clients. I have enjoyed it immensely. I am proud to share one of satisfying achievements recently. After sugery my client came home to recover. She had multiple needs ranging from nutritional, wound care, housekeeping, pet care, food shopping and more. Not only was she over the moon with everything I was able to do for her, her doctors were very happy with her progress and wound care.

    through my caregiving experience, i have learned that the people i care for teach me more about myself then i could ever learn anywhere else. i strive to have the people i care for live there life to the fullest, despite there physical or mental limitations. i have worked with a quadreplegic with muscular dystrophy, who was also a "stand up" comedian. Along with seeing a man paralyzed by cerebral palsy, live the joys of his life through poetry ever week. through my life of caregiving, i have learned the only limitations in life are the ones we make for ourselves. we can do anything we set our minds too.
