About Gerald

Hello, my name is Jerry. I've been working as a certified HCA (caregiver) for 4 years. I am certified in the state of California. I recently relocated to Owatonna. Most of my experience is with dementia and hospice care. But I've worked in many different situations, Group homes, and floor coverage in memory care assisted living facilities. I've also worked with handicapped people and people with severe mental and physical developmental disabilities. ( I am also a certified DSP in CA), I have been thoroughly background-checked by each of the two agencies that I received most of my clients from. I have a completely clean record, and a clean driving record too. I love this job very much. I am reliable and honest, and I always have a very calm and friendly demeanor, which is why I work very well will elderly people. That's my favorite. But I am perfectly happy taking care of younger people too.

Fulltime caregiver - all of the standard duties of a caregiver -perineal care, bathing, changing diapers, laundry, changing bedding, exercise, checking vitals, etc. And a few things we don't normally do like tending to the client's diabetes, medication, assisting with physical and occupational therapy, etc. And one of the most important things, spending time with the client, showing them affection and companionship, and someone to talk to.

24 Hour Home Care
All of the standard duties of a caregiver. Perennial care, medication reminders, light cleaning, laundry, changing diapers, and more. Not very long after I started working for 24 Hours I took a private long-term client. I also took various temporary assignments from 24 Hour Home Care. I was working with both my private client and temporary assignments for 24 Hours until my private client became too many hours to take any other assignments.
