About Erka

I am 41, female, non-smoker and non-drinking alcohol. I have been working as live-in caregiver and companion since 2010. My patients/customers were between 49 to 93 years old both man and women with Dementia/Alzheimer, Stroke ,Back surgery, and Leukemia. I am so proud of my previous job completion. I was 100% responsible for my patient's health, daily life, and their hospice procedures. My purpose of working with seniors is to support them physically, mentally and emotionally, and provide them my best service, then to receive Thank you words from them. I believe that I am loyal to my customer and responsible for my duties, and respectful and fully responsible for to make them be satisfied. I am Asian woman who is dedicated to be respectful, kind, caring and responsible for seniors, and hard-worker. I would like to serve for senior people because I was far away when my father has gone from our site and I would like to complete my duties which should have done for my father.

One of the reasons that makes me who I am as a caregiver is the compassion that I have in my heart for my clients and their families. I am a person of integrity, honesty, dependability and concern. It's about giving of myself to my clients and having a sense of the quality of life concerning the lifestyle they have. When I come into their presence a smile comes on their face. I will show the passion, give the encouragement, and hope they will have the confidence that I will know exactly what to do concerning their plan of care. I became a caregiver because of my mother's influence. Listening to her talk about her clients was interesting and heart warming and sometimes I felt sad and wanted to help, so I did! The rewards of being a caregiver is caring for those who cannot care for themselves or just needing a little help. Always understanding what care consists of at all times regardless of the situations and circumstances whether it's to assist or just HELP. I love what I do as a caregiver because I have a compassionate heart.
