Hello, If you're looking for a self motivator with exceptional care-giving skills, I'm your next caregiver. I have 1 son who is in the USN. I consider myself to be honest and dependable. My personality is fun, warm, loving, compassionate and understanding. I prefer to stay long term with my clients. I offer 20 plus years of home health care experience. I'm CNA certified. I have attended several Alzheimer's and dementia classes. In order to give my Alzheimer's/dementia client(s) 100%, I felt it was necessary to keep my knowledge updated. I have also taken classes for infection control. My past employer was a 80-year-old female with severe Alzheimer's disease. I was employed with her for 6 years. She recently passed away in March. My other employer was a 60-year-old female. She was a type 2 diabetic with congestive heart failure. I was employed 5 years with her. I was also a house manager/personal assistant to her.

15 years ago I was in desperate need of a caregiver for my mother. It was very difficult to find an honest, caring, trustworthy person to care for her. I went through several different caregivers, including a family friend that didn't work out for the job. I ended up quitting my job and caring for her till she died 9 years later. At this point in my life I want to be able to help someone that needs special care because I know the negative impact it can take on the entire family when the care of a loved one is not being met. I think the sick and elderly are at our mercy to care for them.
