I'm 31 years old and i've been taking care of seniors for over 8 years. I started off as a volunteer at a senior home where I gained a lot of experience. I went to school for Medical Assistance and Home Health Aid and I have done live-in, private duty, and also worked with seniors in a rehabilitation center. I've cooked, cleaned, administered medication orally, injection, and through feeding tube. I've given showers, assisted with getting dressed, helped with personal hygiene, oral care,washed and combed hair. I've facilitated trait care, brief changes, transferring and documented everyday living. I an very confident in my ability to care for seniors as a provider and companion. I have experience with dementia and Alzheimer's disease and understand their struggle to communicate with others. I love helping people and it shows in my work.
