About Leah

I became a caregiver at 18. It was a eye opener. Not only did I become friends but I loved the person i was taking care of. I dont regret it one bit. I am a very caring person. I want to make a difference in the world. I want to help people who dont have anyone to help them. Most will let a person lay in filth or not feed them when they sre saying they are hungry. It sickens me that no one really cares. Thats not me.

I have been a CNA for 30 +years. Ten or more of those years as a Caregiver, also. I have experience in long-term and short-term care. I have training in home health, hospice, palliative care, private sitter, and companion care. I work as a attendant now with At Home Healthcare, United Healthcare and a Diamond Professional Caregiver with CareLinx. I've taken the academy classes with CareLinx so I could refresh my skills. I have passed my background screening and I am CPR certified, too. I enjoy working with seniors because some of them have lived some adventurous lives. My greatest achievement is making a difference in their lives and they tell you so. When your day is over you know you have done your best. You can look up and smile.

Love being a Senior Care Provider. I took care of my mother for 9 Year's after she had a stroke. Later on she was diagnosed with COPD, CHF, emphysema etc. After my Mom passed, I decided I'm going to do senior care. I have done it since then. I have worked with two great families. I love providing care and being a companion to the elderly. It is such a rewarding thing to do. I'm not one to move around i like to have a permanent position. I worked with a site Care.com Senior Care. Have excellent references and years of experience. I currently work on Sat and Sun at a women and children's domestic violence and sexual assault shelter. It is such a rewarding position and I[?] love helping the community and working at the same time.
