About ELVIRA

I have worked as a caregiver for over 10 years now. It is something I enjoy to do because I admire helping those who are in need. I have experience with numerous types of elders and therefore would like to provide my experience to new families on the side while I still work my full time job. I am very proud of having worked with what many would call \"difficult cases\". I have had years of experience and direct contact with dementia (Alzheimer diseases), as well as having worked for a man who was paralyzed from the waist down. Because of these two situations there has been a lot I have had to do at these homes which has caused me to learn so much more about care giving.

Abcor Home Health
While working at Abcor Home Health, I provided assistance to elders with simple daily actives, such as preparing meals, doing laundry, going grocery shopping, and proving companionship. There were various online courses I had to complete on a monthly basis for Abcor which included tests to show that we had knowledge in the healthcare system for elders. This tests needed to be passed in order to be eligible to work.

Oct 2010 - Oct 2015
Private caregiver
While living in Sweden I was a caregiver for a disabled man. This man was paralyzed from the waist down and therefore in a wheelchair. I had to attend to all of his needs. This including changing him, showering him, making him food, cleaning his house, bringing him shopping, and taking him to any appointments or social gathers he was to attend.

Caregiver for senior with Alzheimer's disease

Jan 2005 - Jun 2010
Caregiver For Senior
During these five years I worker specifically with one elder who was suffering with Alzheimer's disease. When I first started working for this lady, it was at home basis, and consisted of me providing companionship and helping with around the house actives and chorus, such as cleaning, preparing meals, etc. As her dementia progressed, she was brought into a nursing home where I stay with her and spent the days with her while continuously bringing her out when allowed and attempting to have her follow her normal life routines. When the disease worsen she was brought into another nursing home where I stayed with her daily as a companion, fed her, changed her, and was there for any other needs she had.

I knew from a young age that I always wanted to help people so with that in mind after high School I pursued what I knew I would be good at helping senior citizens through the years I have learned a lot and also through experience with working with agencies where most of the time they just throw you in and expect you to learn everything which was fine with me 18 years of experience later and I've had no complaints.
