About Lisa

As a registered nurse, my background experience in the hospitals were in the OB/GYN floor. I cared for postpartum, antepartum and gynecology patients. I cared for surgical patients, as well as, cancer patients. I stopped working in the hospital after having some health issues. I battled breast cancer in 2010. I had also been in an automobile accident which left me with chronic back issues. I have had 4, shoulder surgeries and a cervical fusion and lumbar fusion which had left me with chronic pain. I was not able to return to floor nursing. After doing different types of jobs, I started caring for Mrs. Hamilton. It was a very satisfying job. I truly felt like I was making a difference in her life. She was a joy to care for. It was hard work at times but satisfying. I'm looking for something similar. Although I am very strong, I would prefer not to be doing heavy lifting. I am open to many situations. I'm looking mostly for part- time work up to 25-30 a week. I prefer T-Th but negotiable on the days except for the weekend. I would love to do transportation as well but prefer using the client's vehicle if transporting the client. I do have an outstanding driving record. I care for people especially the elderly. It is a pleasure to make a difference in their lives.

Family hired me for companion care mostly but over time I assisted with many things. I did bathing, dressing, lymphedema massage and leg wrapping, pneumatic pumping of her legs, ran errands, transported to appointments in their vehicle, made light meals, light housekeeping and more. I started off at $25 hr but the family quickly realized how valuable I was and increased my wages yearly. At the time that my job ended, I was at $40 hr. My wages were paid with the patient's disability insurance. It was a great honor to care for her and she is greatly missed.

I'm caring, respectful, dependable, compassionate and a great listener, It is because of my mom that I became a CMA Knowing how much help she needed and at that time I wasn't able to be there for her as much as she needed me to so I wanna be there for someone who needs the help. What I enjoy the most is knowing that I can make a difference in someone's life by helping them with there needs, I'm proud of having the opportunity of being able to work with geriatric patients it's important for them to know that we do care about them
