About Claire

I took Nursing Assistant classes during the summer before my senior year in high school. I have worked in a hospital setting and home health care for over 14 years. I was grateful for the experience I have gained in the medical profession as it was helpful when my son was diagnosed with cancer. Overwhelming as that was I was prepared for the treatment program he was randomly selected to begin. Thankfully that is behind us now. My greatest achievement was raising my four children, three who are college graduates, into responsible adults who continually make their mother proud. Most recently I have had experience in the home setting with geriatric patients dealing with dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke victim and also orthopedic problems. I enjoy being able to bring a smile, a helping hand and a comforting manner to whomever I am taking care of presently. I'm in my fifties but am young at heart, enjoy reading, card games, puzzles, crafts, cooking and many diverse subjects. Am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid.

    I first started caregiving with my father at nursing homes in 2019, and I instantly fell in love with it. I feel I am a great caregiver because I am very compassionate and empathetic towards others. I love to help others and make them feel comfortable.

    $10.00/hour · Marietta, SC
    I am reliable, patient, and have a helpful spirit. Giving assistance and comfort to someone whose given so much to everyone else already, fulfills my own need to give back, and to be productive and appreciative of my blessings. Ideally, I hope to stay nights with an elderly lady that would feel safer if someone were with her and help with daily living, shopping, housekeeping and meals on the weekend. I already have a daytime caregiver job and would be available to stay Friday 9pm through Sunday afternoon. Can take you to church. I also don't have a problem with cleaning cat pans. Have proof of getting both covid-19 shots, boosters and regular flu shot Thanks, Linda.
