Yolanda M.

I been a caregiver for 10+yrs. I worked with elderly and people with disabilities. My grandfather got sick when I was young and I decided to get into the field because of him. I love what I do. I love helping others. I'm a caring person. I've learned a lot of new things since 2011 when I got into the field. I can now do bed baths, use a Hoyer lyft, dressing, feeding, light housekeeping, ect.

I have sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. I have the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. I act with great care and perseverance when attending to the comfort or wishes of others with politeness and courtesy. I possess flexibility and patience. I easily gain the trust of others with my performance dependability. I try hard to act with professionalism and good composure. I have above-average physical strength which is especially important when transferring clients. I find great value in being able to use humor to enhance my relationship with others by making them feel happier. You can count on me to maintain confidentiality as I worked with many clients as a real estate broker and general contractor in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. I have extensive experience with the need for good communication. I like to inform my clients and customers as often as possible, so they know I am giving the best service possible. I place great value on my ethical standards. I am also a tenacious fighter against poverty and homelessness in the Santa Barbara area and very active at our place of worship. NOTE: For transportation needed beyond 10 miles from 4299 Cathedral Oaks Rd in Santa Barbara, I expect my usual hourly rate for my travel time plus the IRS mileage rate for travel expenses.
