I believe that the elderly should be treated with respect, care, and offered caring assistance. My goal is to assist seniors so that they could maintain an independent lifestyle. At the same time, loved ones and family members could feel comfortable knowing that a caring person is there to help. In the past, I have worked with seniors and children with disabilities. I'll be happy to provide assistance in daily living which can include light housekeeping: sweeping, dusting, changing linen, washing dishes, etc. meal preparations, assistance in eating, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often snacks as well. Running errands grocery shopping, pharmacy, etc. taking client to medical appointments, keeping up on my clients' hygiene, lite physical/ massage therapy or exercise routine as needed, weekly laundry. I'm a very compassionate, loving, kind-hearted, intelligent, fast learner, good listener, patient, understanding, honest & humble, as well as trustworthy. Companionship is of high importance as well. My hours of availability are limited at this time; if weekends or other hours are required it can possibly be worked out if you are located in Riverside or if there is a need for a possible live-in position. For new clients, payscale can be negotiable I take into consideration needs, driving time, etc.

I am a caring, compassionate, honest and dependable person. My experience includes one year as a caregiver for an elder gentleman, who was fighting leukemia. During the year that I was caring for him, I was responsible for G tube feeding, meds, ordering and delivery of required medical products, errands, shopping for groceries and needed items and banking. We were great friends and companions. The gentleman, sadly, passed away approximately one year after I was hired to care for him. At that time, his spouse asked me to stay on as a full time live-in house sitter and pet sitter. I lived there in that position, for another five years. I currently am caregiver for an elderly woman, on a six month basis. She has become well enough that she no longer has need for a caregiver.
