About Larin

Growing up my mother was a private-duty caregiver and well-known in the senior community. She was also a volunteer for Meals on Wheels and served on its board. I remember when I was off from school she would take me along to deliver meals, I'll never forget the excitement on the peoples faces as they answered the door. I also noticed how much time she would take with each person. I knew then I wanted to follow in her footsteps. I enjoy interacting with my clients and learning from them as well. Seeing them smile or getting better from the care that was given, well... that's a reward in itself. A personal acheivement related to caregiving was when my mother and I was hired to provide 24 hour care for a 96 year old lady. We were told by her family this would be a short term job and we were to just keep her comfortable. My mother taught me her caring ways and to have a lot of patience with this particular client along with her techniques of daily care. This client lived another 3 years! Her family was always amazed with the exceptional care we gave their mother. I have a letter of recommendation from one of the daughters. A little about myself; I like to write poetry, love my dog, taking long walks and swimming. I believe you are never fully dressed without a smile.

    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.
