About Malika

My background includes working as a Level 3 Residential Assistant and Med Tech for BrightView Senior Living working with Dementia and Alzheimer's residents. Prior to that position I work as a Assisted living aide for Cozy Cove homecare, which is a residential unit for elderly and adults with mental disabilities. In the past, I also worked as a Youth residential counselor for N.C.I.A. which is a center for at risk youth. Helping people who need help the most gives me great joy. My goal is to brighten at least one person's day, everyday. I treat people with dignity and respect. No matter the ailment. I thought that the only way to help people, at one point was to become a doctor or registered nurse. Trying to follow the footsteps of my mom. And I thought I'd failed for a bit. Then realized, that the nursing assistants are more hands on and spend the most time with patients, residents., and their families. So I went to nursing assisting school for geriatric nursing asst. I feel that the elderly have a wisdom most of us would never get to know without them. I enjoy listening to old stories, and how it was when they were in school and growing up. I and fun loving, caring, careful, detailed, professional, and overall understanding.

I am a caregiver with more than 18 years of experience with seniors and people with special needs. I provide safe, respectful, loving, skilled care towards every one of my patients. I will deliver peace of mind to family members by keeping their loved ones safe while also protecting their independence and preserving their dignity. I give detailed information and pay close attention to my clients and to the families' needs. I have taken care of many people from family members, friends, and clients in facilities to group home members and privately cared for patients. Whatever the needs may be, I strive to go above and beyond my call of duty. Life is a treasure and if I can provide life or encouragement to anyone, or let them know that they are still loved and living with grace and dignity, I am that Angel. Many people lose their independence and feel lost. I can give clients, as well as their families, peace of mind knowing that things will work out fine. I have CPR/First Aid certification, Certified Home Health Aide, Certified Nurses Aide (CNA), Certified Medical Aide (CMA), am a residential counselor, provide individual service/support plans, behavior plans, & have experience with dysphasia, Alzheimer's & Dementia and much more. I have achieved more than 50 certificates and extensive training over the last decade. All families need a break from the worry and stress of caring for loved ones. Please call me to talk about what I can do for your family!

I became a caregiver because I believe it is in my nature and I am compassionate about helping others. I like being a caregiver because no matter how hard I may work or how my day is going, it doesn't feel like work. I would like to help others by doing what I like. I am a mother of four, very energetic and friendly. I recently left my position full time for a major dialysis company in downtown Baltimore and have been in healthcare for a while and started working for Catholic Charities in May 2017, part time on the weekends. I am hoping to start nursing school fall 2017 and would prefer to work overnight Monday thru Wednesday or Thursday but I have open availability and flexibility with my schedule. My personal achievements that I'm honestly most proud of are my children. I am a Certified Nursing Assitant and Cettified Medication Technician through the Maryland Board of Nursing. I am also CPR and First Aid certified.
