About Barbara

I am a 42 years old female with over 10 years experience as a home health aide and housekeeping. I am highly skilled in working with people from different backgrounds, empathetic and with a respectful approach towards clients. I have a proven record of tact and sensitivity, predominantly when helping patients with personal care. I have demonstrated ability to work on own initiative. I am very patient with my clients. Some of the duties I am familiar with and comfortable doing are; assist clients to wash or shower, prepare small meals, help clients to eat, make bed and change linens, turn clients who are restricted to bed to avoid pressure sores, take vital signs such as temperature, pulse and respiration, provide and collect bedpans, help clients to the toilet, make sure clients' home is clean and orderly, chat with clients to make them feel less lonely or worried, assist clients with mobility problems; to name a few. I have a resume with references that I can provide upon request. I am available to start work immediately. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. If this position is still available, please consider my application. Thank you (In advance)

I am very empathetic, positive, trustworthy, honest, and I love people, particularly seniors. I lost my mother when I was 17 and I cherish families and people for who they are. I love hearing their stories and learning about them. I love to help them and make them feel good and positive even when then might be feeling alone and down. I like to do things for them that they can't do for themselves. I cherish the time I get to spend with them and try to make it as special as possible. Because they are special.
