About Joanne aka Jodie

I am a Registered Medical Asst with 24 years experience, now retired. I am looking for a part time job to help supplement my Social Security, as well as allow me to continue receiving the benefits of caring for others. I also had 14 years where my own mother lived with us. She suffered from severe Alzheimer's, so I worked very closely with her Hospice team the last years of her life. I still have a lot of energy, am very organized, compassionate. I have my BLS certificate, and have completed the Level II Background Check. I live in Margate, FL with my husband who also has care-giving needs.

Experience & Education

Senior Care Giver

Jan 2018 - Present
Home Instead Senior Care
For past 5-6 months...worked as in-home caregiver for 89-yr old lady ("Snowbird"), who returned to northern home...assisted with shopping, doctor/salon visits, medication reminders, meal planning, housekeeping, companionship (with lots of fun & laughter), exercise. My extensive medical training, as well as 14 years of caring for my own mother, became very useful. Also, I'm very familiar ( and somewhat well-known) in the Boca medical community, as I worked 20+ years in Boca physician offices.

I become a caregiver because I love taking care of others. Getting up in the mornings knowing that I am going to take care of my client. Becoming a CNA. I am a very hard working individual who love to go above and beyond for my client.

I BECAME A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I ENJOY PROVIDING CARE-GIVING SERVICES TO THOSE THAT CANNOT DO FOR THEMSELVES OR NEED ASSISTANCE. ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED HELPING PEOPLE SO I KNOW I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING. BEING A CAREGIVER GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE IN PEOPLE LIVES BY HELPING THEM AND MAKING THEM BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU. I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT I'VE HELPED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER BEFORE SHE PASSED. I SPECIFICALLY BECAME A CAREGIVER SO I CAN BE CERTIFIED AT WHAT I DO BEST.
