I have been a caregiver for 20 years. I love assisting clients with the activities of daily living including walking, grooming, bathing and all personal care. I am quit capable of managing a house and meal planning and am an excellent cook. I can assist with shopping, cooking, transportation to medical appointments and medication management. I have been trained hospice and CPR and a Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Home Health Aid. I love helping people and can always find something to talk about such as current events and family. I can say prayers with your loved one and can read the signs when they are in pain or need rest. I am a giver and love making a difference. I pay my own taxes, and only charge $12/hr with a special $200/24-hr shift rate. I travel as far as Sacramento and the Bay Area to provide services where they are needed.

I earned my CNA license in High school and worked in geriatrics from 2002-2012. I had two girls and stayed home with them, and now I'm hoping to work in health care again. I am knowledgeable in the medical field and have excellent bedside manor. I am calm and can respond to a medical emergency without panic. I have cared for hundreds of people in the skilled nursing facilities I've worked in. I have also given in home care for an elderly couple and for my friend's grandmother. I love caring for elderly people and younger people with debilitating diseases. I love hearing stories of their life. The most notable one was a holocaust survivor. I care about the people I care for and like to be a part of their life. The achievement I'm most proud of was healing a terrible, stage four decubitus ulcer, that went all the way to the resident's bone. I can say, happily, that we were able to rehabilitate many people so they could go home.

I am an easygoing and friendly person. I have been married for 27 years. I have 5 children. My youngest is now 15. I have always been a caregiver. I helped raise 4 younger siblings and later 2 stepdaughters. As time went on, I helped care for my grandmother with Alzheimer's. Following this I helped care for an Uncle with pancreatic cancer and one with diabetes and a history of strokes. Amidst all of this I also worked for an agency for a year. It was during this year that I became aware of 2 types of caregivers. The ones in it for a pay check who gave the bare minimum and those who were passionate about providing top level care with dignity and respect. I am the person who provides top level care with dignity and respect. Feeling this way inspired me to venture out and start my own business. Through my experiences I have gained valuable knowledge about many disease processes as well as end of life care. I absolutely love providing care so that people can remain at home for as long as possible. I treat all of my clients as if they were family. I can provide excellent references if requested.
