About AMANDA

What helps me to be a great caregiver is that I am a very patient, kind, and caring person. My mother was a CNA for many years, and when I was a child, she used to take me to work with her every day after school to the nursing home. I had many fun afternoons keeping the elderly residents company in the lounge where we would watch tv or play piano. That was the beginning of my affinity for taking care of people. In 2010, when I lost my desk job, I became a caregiver to suppliment income. And it was then that I realized how much I truly enjoyed being a caregiver. It is not work to me, it is fun and rewarding. For the last several years, I have had to focus my full attention on helping my husband with his business, but now I am ready to pursure caregiving again, and hope to meet some great new people.

Experience & Education

Caregiver

Jun 2010 - Jun 2014
Private Family
, I have 4 years of experience from 2010-2014 as a senior caregiver. My clients included a paraplegic, diabetic with colostomy who was permanently in a wheelchair. I got him in and out of bed using a Hoyer lift. I gave him his insulin and medication. I bathed, dressed, and toileted him on a daily basis. I did most of the cooking in the household. I also assisted him with range of motion exercises on occasion, as well as transport him to doctor's appointments and errands in the handicapped vehicle. Also during this time, other clients included companion and helper to an older gentleman who had mild dementia, also diabetic, with a colostomy, and permanently on oxygen. A middle aged woman with Lyme Disease who I provided companionship, cooked, cleaned, and shopped for.
