I am a caregiver registered with the State of CA. I have been fingerprinted and a background check with DOJ and FBI. I began my career as a cargiver when my own significant other was diagnosed with lung cancer. I cared for Bob for over two years before he passed, peacefully, at home. I love being a caregiver because I enjoy bringing quality of life into someone's home that might otherwise not have this. I do a lot of "extras" for my clients to make them feel relevant in their lives. The personal achievement most proud of was getting a grant for the Los Angeles Homeless Outreach Program when I worked for American Express back in the 1990's. My life has been full and rich. I have traveled much and read lots of wonderful books. I have learned as I've moved along in life what is most important. I am a Christian woman who tries to be a shining light. Cooking is a passion of mine. I have reliable transportation and I am fully insured to also include clients in my car. I work hard to keep my environment very clean and sanitary. My current client has not even had a cold in the past 1.5 years I have cared for her. I believe attitude is everything. My life has been blessed and I try to share those blessings with others. I am able to do overnight shifts if necessary. Thank you for considering me! I have 8 years with the same agency and have experience with dementia, cancer, diabetes, stroke , oxygen special meal need and rehab patients.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
