I offer what you seek in terms of experience, qualifications and expertise regarding care giving. I am well versed in elderly care giving, experienced with dementia patients, possess own vehicle as well as drivers license and am able to carry out household tasks as mentioned in the advertised job requirements. Additionally, I am also willing to accompany the client to hospital visits and take up any additional client care related responsibilities. I've been a caregiver for five years during which I have had the opportunity to provide care to both children and the elderly so I am comfortable in handling many diverse types of people. I feel I would be a great person and fit to your family. I'm what you say the right person to get the job done.
