About Olivia

Hello, My name is Olivia. I've been working in home health care since 2013. I'm very punctual, honest, patient, hardworking and dedicated to helping the elderly. What I really enjoy about being a caregiver is simply being there for them, talking to them, helping them accomplish and take care of their needs. I'm a very dependable, honest, caring and loving person. One of the personal achievements I am proud of is helping a elderly lady become more comfortable in her home and helping her feel like herself. She recently had a major accident and have been experiencing anxiety and trouble sleeping. I would perform exercises with her to control her breathing and it helps sooth her and she's able to calm down so she's able to have a good nights rest. I have experience working with dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke, depression, sundowning, anxiety, companionship, running errands and taking customers to and from appointments. I enjoy doing what it takes to make sure my patients are happy , all duties have been fulfilled and they feel loved and cared for.

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.
