About Lisa

Hi! My name is Lisa and I believe the expertise that makes me a great caregiver is my ability to connect with people easily, empathize with them, and make them comfortable with me. I am also caring, compassionate, friendly, professional, patient, reliable, observant, respectful, detail-oriented, and dedicated to my clients well-being. What attracted me to being a caregiver was when I helped my mother take care of my father while he was fighting cancer, going through treatments and surgeries, and also at the end of his life. That experience made me realize that I enjoy caregiving and was good at it, so I wanted to share my gift and hopefully make a difference in at least one person's life. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the relationships I build with my clients and making them smile and/or making their day. Even though taking care of my father was one of the hardest things I have ever done, I would still consider it to be a personal achievement that I am proud of. I know that he passed away happy and at peace because he was at home with his family, where he wanted to be.

Experience & Education

Live-in home health aide

Jan 2021 - Apr 2023
Private
I took care of an elderly woman in her home every weekend as a live-in. When I started, she had recently had a mild stroke and suffered from dementia and congestive heart failure. I would help her shower, get dressed, help her to get on and off the toilet, helped with all of her personal hygiene. I would prepare and cook her three meals. I did all of the housework and laundry. I would help her get into and out of bed, as well as help her get around the house and into and out of any chairs she would sit in. I kept her company and did activities and crafts with her. After 2 years of being there, she suffered another mild stroke which eventually led to her being bed ridden and on oxygen 24/7, and shortly after, was placed on hospice. While on hospice, I would bathe and change her in bed, as well as change her bed linens as needed. I would feed her and give her her drinks when she wasn't able to. I would sit and watch TV with her and talk to her and keep her company. I made sure she was comfortable and was by her side when she passed away.
