Experience & Education

Head Caregiver

Aug 2018 - Present
Freedom Home Care
Primary caregiver. I am to drive my client around wherever she wishes to go, including doctors appointments. Walk with her almost every day for 5-10 miles throughout the year no matter the weather. She's young with FLD. So being patient is important because she's so forgetful, it frustrates her at times. Keeping her safe is my main priority!

Head Caregiver

Private duty care
While caring for the mother the daughter became ill exactly a month of her mother passing, so care for both. The mother was bed bound. So, bathing, cooking, light cleaning, feeding and taking her in and out of bed with the lift. And a one on one time. The daughter had stage four lung and stomach cancer. I did everything the same except she was able to move around for a while. I bathed her in the bathroom until she couldn't no longer stand.
