About V

I am a very hospitable and caring person by nature. I became most interested in being a care-giver when my own mother needed care because of Alzheimers disease. She lived for 11 yrs with it so I went through every single stage of the disease with her. Although I have office, customer service, retail sales and driving experience, I'm looking to branch out into other careers that are more-suitable for my age (59.) Care-giving is the direction I would like to go! I've been told I have a way of making others feel comfortable (2 of my previous supervisors told me this) and I am very eager to use my skills and naturally calm demeanor to help others. My most proud achievement in life was to raise a son who became a doctor a few years ago!

The last 20 years have also included dementia/stroke, oxygen, TPN, feeding tubes and post operative care. In addition, I have also been asked by 2 clients to become their personal assistant. This included travel to the grocery store, doctor appointments, downsizing homes, moving packing and unpacking, traveling across country and also property managed my clients home while it was on the market to sell. How can I be of help to you?

I am cna certified and also am cpr certified. I have been working in the health field since 15 starting as a dietary aide then going on to laundry and housekeeping . Then was put through classes for cna I have been certified for 14 years as a aide and I absolutely love meeting new people helping others and connecting with people as friends not just a caregiver as well . I do not have a drivers license but that absolutely does not stop me from being responsible and dependable when I say I will be or am suppose to be somewhere I will be there most times even earlier then said . I am still able to always grab a few things needed from the grocery store or Walmart as I myself always am needing things. So please don't count me out on the fact that I don't have a license I am still a very dependable and loving caring person who can still do the tasks asked with out one. A little about my family I am a mother of two a daughter who is a senior this year and a son who is in 4th grade my son has autism and adhd so I am also experienced in that and I am also expecting one on the way due in February.
