About Charlen

I am a compassionate Christian woman with a caring heart. I am highly experienced in working with the elderly. I have over 20 yrs experience and blessed with a patient personality. I love being a caregiver as I believe this is a calling and not just a paycheck. My nurturing gift has allowed me to enjoy caring for others as much as I have for my own friends and family. I find myself at an age and time where I have no more family responsibilities and feel the need to give/care for others whom can no longer care for themselves. I love the feeling of gratitude and appreciation I get by just giving to others what My Creator has abundantly blessed me with... Love, patience, compassion, affection and knowledge of the aging process.

I am careful, safe, organized and coordinated in transporting clients for their needs whether it is for picking up medications, getting them to and from their appointments, filling out forms, helping with their shopping, all personal care service for their daily living for and anytime they want some simple conversation and just not be alone. To give and share with clients, one must be compassionate and patient and have an understanding that those needing care would like for the caregiver to understand their needs. There happens to be an advantage to being a caregiver that can put themselves in the shoes and situation of those with the need. My joy is realized when the needs are filled and the cared for people are grateful and thankful. I want to give the care and experience the joy often. I have experienced this joy with my parents as I cared for them. Currently I am a part-time caregiver for various clients providing them all the assistance they may need. Professional and courteous, always on time. Administering medication and food through a gastric tube. Bathing and attending to other personal hygiene and grooming needs. Food preparation and feeding client, according to strict dietary requirements and procedures Cleaning and light housekeeping (client's laundry, dishwashing, cleaning spaces used by client and caregivers, cleaning therapy equipment) Assisting with therapies (cognitive, speech, occupational) and range-of-motion exercises, including manual transfers to and from bed to assist client with weight-bearing and balance exercises. General companionship and interaction with client (i.e. reading books, cognitive therapies). Driving client to and from appointments and activities in a client-provided wheelchair accessible van.
