Rhonda R.

Hello :) My name is Monika, call me Monik. I enjoy helping people and providing the best quality of care possible to the ones who are in need and clients who can no longer do things for themselves. To treat each and everyone with love, respect and dignity. I have more than 6 years of experience in healthcare, providing care specifically in the geriatric field. I am friendly,compassionate, patient, reliable, and honest. I appreciate the chance to get to know the clients and their families and becoming an integral part of their lives. Just to be there to help,support,give the best care,empathize and listen to them, to gain their trust is a privilege to me. I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients lives and make a difference for them, if I can add a smile or laugh to a clients day, that means a lot to me.

Hello, My family, friends and co-workers know me as a caring, positive person who tries to find logical solutions to daily problems. I have always been a helper- whether it's assisting an elderly neighbor or taking care of neighborhood children. I like figuring out how to make a person's wish a reality- going for a country drive, cooking a favorite meal, making a craft or enjoying the arts. I find satisfaction in a job well done, and it's important to me to make sure I fully understand a client's physical and emotional needs. One thing I'm most proud of was being a caregiver to a client who ultimately passed away in 2007. He had been institutionalized and heavily medicated for most of his adult life before being placed in a group home situation. He was nonverbal and had cognitive and physical disabilities. I was proud to be on the team that helped him develop strategies for his PTSD, provided calming routines that reassured him, and figuring out his likes/dislikes and wishes. Ultimately he was able to travel to Disneyland and Hawaii, go camping, shop at his favorite stores, have clothing altered to accommodate his short stature and receive help in creating photo albums and keepsakes. Caregiving can be a difficult job, but I am grateful for the amazing people and experiences.
