Hi, I am a registered Care Provider with the state ID# 7507076149. I have been a care visitor since 2003. I care-visited a lady for 7 yrs, first as a volunteer, then paid before she went into assisted living. During this time, I held a job and attended college modules studying Gerontology. I have always been involved with caregiving. When my father passed, I decided that I would do what really matters to me which is caregiving. I'm now care-visiting full time. I enjoy knowing that I am truly making a difference everyday in someone's life as well as giving respite to families. I am responsible, punctual, take initiative, am patient, a good listener and I communicate well. I feel it's important that a person remain as independent as long as possible. I am happy to have you check my references. I have a clear TB test, a clear criminal background check drug screen and Covid vaccinated, which I would gladly provide proof of. I can also work with UHC clients. Thank you!
