About JOLENE DO

Traits that make me a great caregiver include being determined, organized, disciplined and patient while having common-sense at the same time. I pay close attention to the needs of the people who depend on me. I love cooking, shopping for groceries and keeping the home clean. Doing laundry is super satisfying. I was attracted to being a caregiver after coming to realize that not only was there a need for the people in my community such as older friends and neighbors, but that I was simply better at it than most. I enjoy seeing people safer, healthier and happier after I have spent time working on their behalf. One of the things I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the immediate satisfaction that comes with working directly with people. Seeing someone enjoy a home cooked meal I've prepared, having them put on the clean clothes that I've laundered and seeing someone feel refreshed after a proper bath is the best. One personal achievement I am proud of was the care I was able to provide a friend and neighbor who was also a WWII veteran. Given that he was in his 90s and had no children or known living relatives, the years I spent getting to know him and helping make his daily life better was especially rewarding.

I majored in Social Work and have had a wonderful 27 year career of working with children, adolescents and the aging. I have worked at UVA hospital where I gained insight into the importance of maintaining good health and how devastating a disease or accident is on one's health and life. I have worked for department of social services and assisted the aging with receiving the services needed to remain in their home or to move into a facility. At this time, I am doing "hands on" care in people's home to assist them with various activities of daily living. My mother was bedridden for many years and I was one of her primary caregivers. I know the burden on family when caring for a loved one and the importance of support. My grandfather lived to be 96 and I was there for him to assist with shopping, meal prep, housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation. I cherish the times that I spent with my mother and grandfather caring for them. I also cherish the support I received from others.
