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.
