Hello, my name is Sonnie Ju. I am an experienced caregiver with 7 years of experience. I have worked with: Seniors in the Korean community. I am bilingual. In Korean culture, elders are respected. Younger people are taught to honor elders from an early age. My responsibilities were to take care of their daily needs, so they have a healthy routine, such as providing companionship, cooking, walking and exercise, grocery shopping and hobbies. I am known for my professionalism, thoughtfulness, and compassionate approach to elders and their needs. I am fully dedicated and devoted, like I treat my own parents. My father who is 92 years old also lives with me. Most of the elders in my experience don't like to exercise, so I motivate them with support to dance, walk or do easy tasks, so they stay active and engaged in their daily life. As a companion, I offer encouragement and warmth. **** Professionally before becoming a caregiver: I had a dry cleaning business for 17 years. I cultivated long-term relationships with my customers. I contributed to the local community through my service-based business. I worked as the church secretary for a 350-people congregation. I also served in the treasury department. **** Relationships are very important in my life. I had a strong relationship with my mother who passed away 15 years ago. It taught me that life is too short. I regret that I could have done better with my own mother, so I give back to elders as a caregiver. In family life, I have also taken care of members who are elderly and ill. My community looks to me for support during challenging times such as managing their health with cancer or terminal illness. When I'm not working, I love to cuddle with my three cats, travel with my family, and contribute to my family's ministries for young adults who need healing and guidance.
