Irina V.

I have always wanted to major in the medical field, I started working towards my degree in nursing, and I got a job as a CNA. Working with the elderly has been great, it has given me more Patience than I already had. being able to care for someone that can be my grandmother or any family member brings great satisfaction. of course my 87 year old grandmother with early obset Alzheiner's, still lives at home. it is my heart pleasure to see the elderly be safe and happy in their own home with proper care.

I am a great caregiver because I naturally have an urge to help others. I have always placed a priority on helping other people. I want to make the world a better place and I do it with one home care patient at a time. I can be counted on to be there. Those needing home care services need a reliable and dependable caregiver. Trustworthy. Most people who need home care services are in a vulnerable position. They are inviting someone into their home. I am trustworthy. Flexible. I am also prepared to go with the flow, being flexible, even if a rigid schedule isn’t being followed. I have the ability to establish trust with clients and garner a supportive connection. I am a specialist with organization and setting up system that allow my clients to live an uncluttered existence. I am also a phenomenal HEALTHY cook! As a lifelong education (with three college degrees), I think it is important, as feasible, to connect clients to current events and encourage activities or exposure which would stimulate their senses. I first became interested in caregiving ten years ago when my grandmother came to live with me after a stroke. I cared for her until she passed after which my grandfather developed cancer from which he ultimately passed. I learned from the experience so much and through it formed a lifelong commitment to caring for others through their life challenges.
