About Iris

I am a phenomenal Caregiver because I solemnly believe in Empathy . One of the best qualities I could have as a caregiver is a sense of empathy for those being cared for. Whether you’re caring for a small child in daycare or helping an elderly person recover from surgery, a sense of personal understanding and connection is vital. Good caregivers like myself understand they may feel vulnerable, scared, confused and uncomfortable, and being able to identify and allay these fears can create a sense of calm and trust for those being cared for. Having an innate sense of selflessness and empathy, “sweetness,” a willingness to serve, an absence of “attitude,” and the patience to weather a patient’s bad days is important. Patience is the essence to everything! I know how to separate myself from potential anger and resentment and not take the situation personally, all while still providing high-quality care services. Not to mention I am extremely reliable and have a nurturing nature. I will provide as much love, emotional, and mental support , as well as physical. Being a voice of encouragement and enlightenment I will provide happiness and an easier life for those I aid.

Taking vitals of the patient, including the pulse rate, respiration rate, blood pressure and body temperature. Although it might seems repetitious at times, it is crucial to ensure that the patient’s condition is closely monitored and recorded without being deviated from the healthy normal range. Performing standard body measurement such as body weight, height, and record them. Assisting patient with their daily routine whenever they need help, including brushing teeth, bathing, feeding, toileting, dressing, assisting patients entering and leaving beds, and answer their call lights. These are some of the most demanding and tedious part of the job, and it really requires a lot of patience and care to the patient.

Prepping patients for medical exams is a considerable clinical duty for a medical assistant intern. You guide patients to their rooms, obtain and record vital signs including blood pressure, temperature and weight, log medical history, and explain and set up procedures to assist the physician. While on internship, you are directed by a health care professional to be sure patients are receiving proper care. Also scheduling appointments, taking phone messages for nurses and doctors and filing patients' charts are clerical duties of a medical assistant intern. A supervisor explains how to perform these jobs, and as a medical assistant intern you follow through and execute them.

As the eldest sibling, nurturing comes naturally to me. I have been in health care since college but it wasnt until a family member was in need of a care provider that I discovered my purpose in the medical field. Since then, I have continued my education for the last 10 years and in return have gained excellant skills in senior care, specialty care, palliative care, hospice/end of life care. My ability in providing superior care goes in hand with developing a strong relationship with my clients that know they can depend and trust the care and services I provide. I am absolutely compassionate about being a care provider and it deeply fullfills me being apart of each clients journey to stay at home with individual care, that specifically fits your needs. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you in further detail about your needs and how I can meet them. Please message me through carelinx and I will get back to you immediately. Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio.
