About Arlene

My reason for becoming a caregiver its because from birth i always know i am a very caring person, my grandmother was the first person that i took care of. Being a caregiver is a challenging job and i love challenges it makes you learn more and being able to share your experiences with others. At one time i had a client who was gravely ill he was on hospice care he would not eat he did not have much relatives around him so the family hired me for personal care i spent time talking with him relate stories to him encourage him to eat and gradually as time pass by he progresses very well until the family took him off hospice care. I am a very hardworking, honest and passionate person this type of job is what i have a passion for, i am very reliable trustworthy person i will go above and beyond to get the job done.

    I took care of my sick mother until she passed away. Later, a friend introduced me to the field of caregiving. Though I had formerly been a school teacher, caregiving fit like a glove. A client once asked me why I chose this profession, and I told her that I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I offer personal care, housekeeping services, and companionship. When my client was dying, I held her hand the entire time, not knowing that the daughter had entered the room and observed my action. After her death I received a note from the daughter describing how she had been touched by my action. As a former teacher, I am punctual, compassionate, empathetic, and sentimental; I laugh and cry with my clients. My current job involves caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes. I have recently been providing a client with personal hygiene in the morning through CareLinx.

    I became a Caregiver/Home Health Aid while caring for my grandmother who passed away. After she became ill - I cared for her, bathed her, changed her and her bedding, fed her, watched TV and read with her and cooked and cleaned for her. I enjoyed doing this and spending time with her knowing that she was getting the proper care. I have many skills I am a violist, a dancer, a bartender and I Home Health Aid. I enjoy all of these and what I enjoy most is getting to know the different people.
