About Cherry

I am originally from Trinidad and Tobago, and I am a passionate caregiver. My life as a caregiver began as a child when my mother would take us to church and the St. Vincent de Paul Society to care for older adults. It was an excellent experience as I ended up experiencing a lot of my early life with the elderly, As a caregiver today I love instilling a sense of confidence in the clients that I work with and love helping them build a sense of independence! I help families with light housekeeping, meals, and medication reminders. I have a passion, when times call for it, to go above and beyond the call of duty. As a caregiver I will always be trustworthy, reliable, have a deep well of compassion, and above all patience for all of my clients.

Experience & Education

Certified Home Health Aide

Jul 2015 - Mar 2017
VNA Lifetime Solutions
I worked with clients with a range of needs including dementia, hearing problems, and macular degeneration. My duties for each client included medication reminders, taking care of ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), medication reminders, taking walks and baths. At home, I would help my clients maintain a clean and healthy environment. With one client I helped her with her cat, a prized pet that ensure she was happy. I love being active and fit with my clients and that often includes taking walks, and attending beach events in the community, and ensuring that my clients can remain social with friends!

Certified Home Health Aide

Lighthouse Home Health Care
Worked with clients aged up to 96 years old with dementia and my clients included caregivers within hospice care. I helped my clients with taking vitals, toileting, transfers, feeding, and turning to prevent bed sores. I ensured that they had they had pain medication. Often, my clients had to gesture and thus listening and being attuned to their needs was my priority. At the end of life, I made sure that my clients' stories and the richness of their experience was heard. As my clients transitioned, I would ensure that they were treated with care and dignity. My duties in hospice included cleaning, dressing, and preparation for final rites.
