I have had a year of private care giving experience for an elderly woman who suffers from dementia. I provide her with companionship, help with daily tasks, and physical therapy exercises. I have also had training in a care facility in Sacramento where I did patient transfers, helped residents with activities of daily living, and took vitals. I believe that every person should be treated with dignity and respect and that they should maintain their feelings of independence even when they require help from others. I am a kind, compassionate person with great interpersonal skills.
