Cherlanda C.

Why I would be a great caregiver, I had taken care of my mother for many years she had arthritis in her hip, knees she waited too many years before she had surgery at that time it was too late for the healing process to recover 100% she always needs help to walk and get around like shopping or her day to day errands, taking a bath at times, cleaning, cooking, going to doctors appointments. As her daughter, I was there for my mother for many 15 years helping her to have a normal life as possible, caregiver, provider, and a good listener I love to help people in any way possible in today's world of Covid19. I see many elderly people that may need help I always ask if I could help in any small way that I could help. I have worked in a customer service environment for many years in my career I enjoy listening, acknowledging what is going on in their life what can I do to help, always showing empty with grace. I would treat anyone with the utmost respect with kindness if I would be their caregiver. I was proud to help my mother and to say I was her daughter if she was still alive today I would do it all over again with no hesitation

I permanently reside in P.SL., Florida for over a year and after working 10+ years in the medical field and with the intellectually challenged I am looking to continue my career and skills. I enjoy being a caregiver and how it brings me joy to see others happy. I am proud of being nominated as employee of the month in August 2012 and also awarded from New York State for being a Direct Support Professional.
