About Nikki

Mother of 2 beautiful children, I know how important family is and how important it is to LISTEN and RESPECT the expectations one has for the care their loved one is receiving! I would like to describe myself as a dedicated, nurturing, understanding, enthusiastic, resourceful worker. I promise that I am dedicated to establishing a trusting relationship with those so dear to you-learning, understanding and respecting everything about your family and loved one, beliefs, life journeys and experiences! I really enjoy listening to music it is definitely part of who I am and I believe is very healing and therapeutic and I really enjoy going through photo albums (especially old photos!) and hearing the stories about the memories they hold. Your priorities are MY priorities and we will meet challenges head-on together! I am currently working as Hemodialysis PCT. Previous experience as a Licensed Medication Technician in addition, I am a Licensed Phlebotomist with a VERY gentle hand, extensive training and hands-on experience in venipuncture, capillary puncture, and special collection techniques, which means I can do in- home labs so that your loved one can be comfortable in their own home. Certified in CPR, AED and Basic First Aid. As of 3/30/2021 I AM FULLY VACCINATED FOR COVID-19

Susan K.

$25.00/hour · Arlington, TX
My name is Susan Kiarie. I have been a caregiver and a Medication Aide for the past 17 years, both in facilities and in-home private care, especially with different forms of dementia like Alzheimers, Parkinson and lewy body. After the diagnosis of our mother with Alzheimers, I realized how much care she needed and in return I knew this is what I wanted to do. What I enjoy the most about caregiving, is seeing the relief of families when I am there to help, in the comfort of their homes. I am proud to say that in the past 7 years of private caregiving, I have had only referrals, which helps me know that I must be doing something right. Thank you.
