Home Care Aide (HCA) Caregivers in Lamont - 2 caregivers found

My name is sharita everyone calls me Rita. I have been in this field about 11 yrs now. I love helping and taking care of others it is a passion of mine. I come from a big family my mother had 10 kids. I was always the helper of my mother. I took care of my siblings and it stuck with me. Just the comfort i give my clients and families keeps me going. I have experience with dementia, i worked in a memory unit as a assistant to the director. I was a led medication aide. So i have the experience with meditations as well. I love what i do

I have a very easy going personality and that has helped me feel comfortable when I am with families and clients who come from all walks of life. I first became a caregiver while working at Shands hospital in Gainesville Florida, I saw a huge need with my patients who wanted to be at home but was unable to be alone and was also not ready for a nursing home. I would help them get set with equipment needed in their homes and help take care of them until they no longer needed assistance or the majority of the time until they passed away. This lead me to meeting nurses and doctors who would recommend me to other clients and that is how my business started. I have traveled with clients when they are unable to travel without assistance. I would travel with them to visit family or maybe a second home they own and other times just because they wanted a vacation. I have experience with making reservations when traveling, setting up clinic visits if the client has medical needs that would need to be addressed while on vacation. I feel like this is my calling in life and feel so blessed I am able to help others stay in their homes or facilities and be happy and healthy for as long as possible.
