About NEREIDA aka Nellie

I became a caregiver because I love taking care of the elderly, I enjoy seeing them smile upon my arrival. I feel the elderly need a little more love and patience and I have plenty of that to give. I am very much engaged in making sure their surroundings are safe and clear of clutter and also I try and get them involved in crafting, small projects ideas so they feel productive. I also have Medical Assisting background although not certified. I am mostly proud of the fact that a little love and understanding can move mountains. I cook, clean, organize. I do grocery shopping, doctors visits. I also do laundry and once I walk through the doors it's my home so it will be cared for.

I love making a different in the lives of others. After caring for my father for five years in Africa, I realized this is a profession that I'm good at and passionate about. When working with my father, I developed patience and empathy, and also have been working as a caregiver for about 5 years with a lot of experience. In the event of an emergency, I would recall the training I have learned and immediately follow the standard protocol and call 9-1-1 if needed. I have active CPR certification, so I feel confident performing that, If required

I've been in home care for 14+ years. I worked for Hospice for 6 years, Parkinsons, TBI, stroke, and developmental disabilities patients and etc. I love what I do because I treat all my clients like if they were my family and also the way I would like to be treated. What attract me to Homecare was when I was in high school I used to work in the nursing home. And I am proud of making my patient happy seeing a smile on a face. That makes me know that I am doing my job right.
