Delihah H.

Hello Im updating my profile as I have been away from Homecare and caregiving for a few years. Due to lack of having any home care clients I took a retail job, that helped paid the bills, well after eight years that job is no more and decided to move in a different direction. So why would I make a good caregiver 1. I have patience, Im kind, caring, reliable and understanding. I enjoy making a difference at the end of the day 2. I can do basic housekeeping, be a companion, and help the person feel at ease. Im a good listener who is willing to talk if they wish. 3. I don't want to get too personal here, but I helped take care of my dad when he was battling Parkinsons disease as I sat with him, got him meals, something to drink or helped get dressed or just sat by his bedside watching TV and talking when he was in hospice. He has since passed away.... 4.I worked as an Activity Assistant in a skilled nursing home and felt such a joy making residents smile whether making popcorn, putting in a movie, or calling bingo. That was one of the best jobs I ever had. 5. I grew up volunteering in a nursing home from my teenage years all through high school and loved every minute of it 6. Now Im in my late 50s and this is what Im passionate about so please consider me as I need income as I live alone. I've also been a DORS PA since 2012 and have remained on their list since then 7. Im most proud of that Ive remained the kind, caring, compassionate person that I remain to this day. I don't know if I can pick a personal achievement, that Im most proud of, but I was lucky to spend time with my dad when he declined. I miss just holding his hand and talking to him even though he slept most of the time. I want to honor his memory by making a difference in the lives of others. So if you are interested please contact me. Due to lack of the Homecare clients Im looking for in this area Im willing to relocate. I prefer non smokers and can work around cats, but no dogs.
