    Sabrina G.

    $16.00/hour · San Jose, CA
    My name is Sabrina and I have been employed as a senior & disability caregiver for over 15 years, as well as caring for my aging grandparents. The ability to give someone freedom of independence while assisting them with the things they need help with most is something that really makes me glad to be a caregiver. I find it to be a very rewarding experience. I also think it can brighten a person's day just to know they are getting the best care possible, and that they are receiving it in a dignified, respectful manner. I have experience with personal care (including incontinence & ostomy care), transfers, meal planning/ preparation, medication assistance, housekeeping, laundry, companionship, computer lessons, etc. I've been CPR & First Aid certified for over 12 years. I have also previously done daytime shifts, and 12-hour awake overnight, and 24 hour shifts. I'm upbeat, and have a strong work ethic. At the end of the day, it's not just a job, it's an opportunity to help someone in need of assistance. Hope to hear from you soon!

    $30.00/hour · Sunnyvale, CA
    1. I became a caregiver through the inspiration of my late mother. She was in a vegetative state for almost 2 yrs. due to massive stroke. Reinvented myself from working in the corporate world (banking) to moving in the healthcare field. It's a different experience where one found joy and accomplishment working with the elderly. My salary rate is negotiable depending on client's needs. 2. Being a caregiver is very personal to me.. My focus is always the well-being & safety of my client. 3. Being a caregiver entails a lot of patience, compassion and experience to be able to understand every client's specific needs. . I try to keep a balance of everything I do to maintain my physical and psychological well-being. 4. I consider myself as energetic, strong-willed and resourceful. In my former job I was the lead CNA supervising 3 caregivers working 12 hrs. shift 24/7 in our client's own home. My relationship with my client & the family I've worked with has been very pleasant. Blessed to work with families that trust my work ethics and the care I provide for their loved ones.
