About Charissa

The most important morality to posses is empathy, sympathy, kindness, compassion, love, and companionship; everything else will grow and bounce off these traits. My love for helping people and being around patients has brought me to the careers that I desire to have. When I graduate college I plan on being an International Humanitarian Surgeon; a doctor that travel to third world and/or underdeveloped countries that do not have the means of medically supporting each other, and have a higher death rate than birth rate. Since I was little I have desired to be the doctor on the front lines in the wars saving people who have been injured, the doctor that jumps in natural disasters (hurricanes, tsunamis, etc...) pulling people out of danger and caring for wounds, and/or the person who joins activism protests saving people in situations of bombings. Helping people and saving lives is my greatest passion in life, and until I become a surgeon, I will be a caregiver. The greatest achievements I have so far are traveling to Peru to work at a medical center in the underdeveloped/ starving village of Huancayo, and traveling to Costa Rica to work at an orphanage. I am willing to negotiate wage

I like to be there for someone that cannot care for themselves because it is not easy to live a life like this when you cannot do things for yourself that you may have once been able to and cannot now. I have been caregiving since the year 2000 and just have a compassion for people. I am a certified medical assistant and also earned a certificate of phlebotomy. I am currently working toward my associates degree and have one semester left to complete. I plan in the near future to take classes to be a licensed practical nurse. I have 5 kids that are ages 17 to 23. I have a chiweenie named neeko that is 4 and he thinks he is a real baby and so spoiled.

Hello, I began my caregiving experience in 2009 working at Alternative Opportunities, Inc. located in Springfield, MO as an in-home caregiver for mentally and physically handicapped adults. This included meal prep, observational bathing, light housework, medication administration, and charting/ documentation. In 2010 I had the opportunity to provide hospice support for my great-grandmother in Ava, MO as she neared the end of her life. I primarily provided companionship and medication administration. In 2012 I provided support as an observational sitter when my grandmother entered an induced coma for aneurysm care in a Las Vegas, NV hospital. Throughout these experiences, I have learned how to provide care by being observant, respectful, diplomatic, confidential, and reliable. My personal motto is that all God's children deserve love and care.
