About Gretchen

Dependability is my middle name. I have been working for an assisted living facility for one year. I have never been late, called in sick or for any other reason. I have always come in early or stayed late as requested. I have passed a level 2 background check with the state of Florida, and have a CNA license, BLS certification by the American Heart Association as well as a Med Tech certifcation. As for my experience, I pass out medication, assist with personal care, showering, toileting, dressing and any other help needed. I am a great cook. I can also help with light housekeeping and laundry. I own a 2014 Toyota so I can also take the client to doctor appointments or shopping or run errands for them. I enjoy meeting new peple and I love helping in any way I can. This gives me a sense of accomplishment. I am a happy optimist and develop relationships easily. I have a great sense of humor.

Hello.. I have been a caregiver for many years. I have experience in many areas such as all personal hygiene care, medication reminder, light exercise, housekeeping, championship and much more . I enjoy helping seniors continue to enjoy their lives in the privacy of their own home... helping them get through some of life's difficult times without losing all their independence is very rewarding. And giving family members a peace of mind of knowing their loved ones are well taken care of.

I consider myself to be a compassionate person. I am a retired nurse and previously was employed as a hospice nurse. I am especially proud of the care that I was able to provide for my parents before they passed away. I have years of experience in the geriatric field and understand the characteristics of the aging process. I am currently seeking part time employment. References upon request.
