Ive been a caregiver for about 9 years. Alot of my clients have been dealing with Dementia and Parkinson's issues and also I've had a few that have had Strokes and pretty much needed everything done for them anything from feeding them to picking up and moving them from chair to chair or wherever they wanted to go which is fine with me I do companionship, medication, light housekeeping, meal prep. Also do bathing, transportation anything that needs to be done basically. I would prefer a three-hour minimum just to get to know the client a little bit better so they're more comfortable with me and also prefer Monday through Friday shifts but will do overnights as needed because I do have three children as well and I'm not opposed to working a Saturday or Sunday every now and then so I hope to hear from you soon thanks for your time.

I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
