I have worked in the healthcare field previously in various departments as a Health Unit Coordinator. I am naturally a caregiver and have compassion for people especially elderly. I am patient with people that are elderly or disabled. Most recently in 2015 I was the caregiver for my aunt who had Alzheimer's. I coordinated all of her physician appointments, took her to the grocery, helped her with bill paying, and managed all of her day to day activities. I made sure she had everything she needed. I am friendly and know what families go through with elderly family members as I have been through many family members cancer diagnosis as well as dementia. I am trustworthy and dependable and feel that I can make a difference in someones day. I have taken CPR courses previously while employed with the hospitals.
