I am a 35 yr old single mother.i have a little over 8 months experience in being a PCP/ caregiver. I have atook care of two elderly woman who were placed on hospice care. I ran a child care out of my home for 2 years where I took care of two children. I have experience in residential,office building,and motel cleaning and over 6 years customer service. I love music, drawing, and traveling. I am a dependable hard-working individual. I believe its important to be on time and sticking to and paying attention to any schedule put fourth for your loved one. I enjoy spending time with your family member going on walks/outings, or recommend excersises.(doctor appointments, grocery shopping, or simply assisting them while we go to check the mail) working with them on the appropriate activities.. I have had a large amount of clients that had dementia ( using word search, puzzles,paint by number, memory games) to list a few are very good memory excersises to keep the brain working. I enjoy cleaning and laundry and have had many compliments for my cleanliness, and help (if needed) with organization. I love to listen and learn about your loved ones past history. I like to learn about them... what they like or don't like ...(food,fav TV shows ect..) I approach my job as a PCP/ caregiver as a companion then just a job. I care for any individual that I am working for as if I were a lived on of my own or with the thought..if this were me how would I want to be treated... I like your family member to feel good about them selves while assisting them with dressing and personal hygiene/ grooming. I like them to feel comfortable with me in their home, and still know that is their home and I am a helpful guest...
