Hi, my name is MaryLou. I live in Salinas, CA. I have 14 years experience.

I've always had a heart for caring for others. It is such a wonderful feeling knowing I can be of help to those of need. I have 10yrs of experience in the medical field. I've started with helping my grandmother as a little girl such as brushing her hair on a daily, picking out her clothes, to then giving her, her medications. I cared for several other family members until I decided to then move on to working in a doctor's office as a medical/billing assistant which included me rooming patients, taking vitals, assisting the doctor's, submitting billing, and most importantly building friendly and trusting relationships. I'm now in the field working one on one with individual clients, being able to give my full undivided attention to make sure I care for all needs required as well as giving that security and confidence that they are in good hands.

Hello, my name is Kimberly . As a dedicated caregiver since 2015, I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of clients, each with their own unique health circumstances. Throughout my experience, I have provided compassionate support to multiple clients, including those with dementia and pets at home. My responsibilities encompassed a wide range of tasks, including medication management, encouraging exercise activities, meal preparation tailored to specific dietary needs, and being a reliable companion. I also assisted with running errands such as grocery shopping and transportation to doctors' appointments. Additionally, I took on light housekeeping duties to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for my clients. I'm multi-lingual in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Teochew, and Vietnamese. Certified in CPR and AED, and Food Handler certification. I have consistently prioritized the well-being and safety of my clients. Furthermore, I have pursued ongoing professional development through various certifications, including Safety Precautions & Fall Prevention, Dementia Care, Clients' Rights (HIPAA and Elder Abuse), Independent Living through Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), and Health & Safety. I'm also a board licensed Cosmetologist and Aesthetician.

Compassionate and capable to go beyond the expectations of the employer, enthusiastic. Enjoy the companionship and learn from the experience of their lives . I am being caring for many families through the times . It's a pleasure taking care of the seniors making them comfortable at their own places, providing professional care with safety skills, all the required certifications HHA, CPR AED, CNA, and experience.

What makes me a great caregiver is my genuinely love to help and be there. I don't work this field for a paycheck. I love working this field because its who I am. What attracted me to this position as a caregiver was my grandmother. I have always taken care of her and it always made her happy. I never treated her or any of my patients as work. I genuinely loved them all and cared and treated them and looked at them as my extended family. My personality traits are huge personality, very silly when around loved ones or anytime someone is down. I can always make someone who's down smile. I have a very huge heart. I enjoy everything about being a caregiver. Each day of just knowing I've helped someone with each day in there life to make it easier any way that I can is the best feeling. Knowing that I made someone smile and i can help someone in the way is needed without feeling like they cant do it is the best feeling.

What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being with my clients and learning from them such as their likes or stories. How they meet their spouse, life lessons, or simply talking to them of places they have traveled. I enjoy when I cook and they approve of my meals which means I can be a good cook. Being a caregiver has filled my life purpose and satisfaction of knowing I am doing something for my community. A personal achievement I'm most proud is raising my son while going to school and working a full time job. It is the hardest thing I have ever done but it's the most rewarding.

I have been working as a caregiver for the last 10 years! I shared my love caring and responsibility with always a smile.

Self motivated, realizable , bilingual Spanish, passion it for what I do

I am a very compassionate and helpful individual. I like to assist those who are not capable of helping themselves. To provide relief and aid to families in hardship and emotional stress. I get true joy in my heart to make my clients happy , I could not ask for a more rewarding career.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile! I will start off by saying I've always had a heart [?]for the Elderly. My desire had started when I worked at Davita Dialysis clinic. For 2 years. I can honestly say you need to have compassion and empathy for these patients who enduring such critical treatment for their life. Its not something they looked forward too. Who wants to get stuck with 2 big needles , and sit in a chair for 2-4 hours 3 days a week. ?Nobody! I believe for most of our patients , what they did look forward to was seeing their PCT's who cared for them. I tried my best to bring a smile to their face, everyday make them laugh, give them hope, encourage them, let them know that I cared for each of my patients. If they allowed me , I prayed for them too. Last year I explored the in home caregiving field , a close friend of mine needed someone so desperately care for her grandmawmaw. To know that your not only helping that patient , you are also help that family. She was told she wouldn't be able to walk after for 4 months after her accident. I had her walking in 3 weeks! Being consistent and with her persistence doing our physical therapy exersizes everyday .My job duties were to cook her 3 meals a day, shop for her, light cleaning, campanionship, we read the bible, read our daily devotionals, she loved to sing worship songs and get her make up and lashes done by me. My other passions and jobs are Professionsl makeup Artistry and singer. We enjoyed eachother so much. I worked with her for 6 months. I was sad they had to let me go. They did not need my care any longer. But I gained so much experience. Before you make your decision in choosing your caregiver for your loved one I will end with this... This job isn't a hard job, its a heart [?] Job.. Happy choosing
