Marilou A.

Hi! My name is Kerry, I have over 18 years of experience in healthcare with over 10 of them helping the elderly, disabled, those with dementia & on hospice care. I love to just make my patients lives, day or hour better, easier & happier for them, especially considering when it is not possible for them to be without care & support, & living an independent life on their own anymore. The people I care for are more than just my clients, they become my friends & extended family! I think of how I would want someone to take care of my own parents, & that's how I take care of my clients. Treat people how you would like to be treated is my motto! I love to talk with my clients, listen to their stories, & learn about their lives & what makes them who they are! I'm a CNA (certified nursing assistant), caregiver & a former nursing student (which has given me great training in vitals, medication management, skin & wound care, health assessments without the client even knowing that that's what I'm doing, & I'm extremely comfortable taking them to the doctor appointments to take notes & talk with the staff as needed). And through my past work experience, I've been fingerprinted & have had consistent clear background checks & I've even been checked & cleared through the rigorous scrutiny of DCFS & DHS! I also have a resume, reference list & reference letters readily available upon request! I look forward to getting to know you & your loved one!

Giving a professional care with love, respect, passion more than 10 years is my mature age life devotion. I acknowledge the people’s life wellbeing as the most valuable thing. To become a part of people’s life by making differences, to see a spark of joy in their full with gratitude eyes is a blessing. In my work I practice a high level of integrity and commitment. I am caring, respectful, compassionate, attentive, dependable, reliable, well organized, problem solving, effective in acting/interacting in team or self working environment. Putting myself in the shoes of others determines my standard of attitude and care. As I understand that the life changing health issues are not only a burden for the clients but for their family too I give the best of me without counting my efforts to bring satisfaction in smooth, secure environment for everybody involved in the case. My good educational background, personal skills, rich experience and values I stand for make me successful in my work of caring for others by providing them attentive companionship, physical care, emotional and spiritual support.
