About Carla

I have a strong desire to work with elderly and individuals with disabilities. My experiences at my previous jobs have prepared me to perform HHA tasks efficiently. For instance, I am highly skilled in providing personal care to clients including oral hygiene, nail care, dressing, feeding, bathing and skin care. Furthermore, I am very expert in cooking nutritious meals, taking vital signs accurately, and assisting clients in the activities of daily living using different techniques.
