About Gladys

As a caregiver, I look at every one I take care of as my own. I lost my mother recently and since she lives in a different country than me so I wasn't able to care for her like I wanted to. Because of this, I have made it my life's duty to care for anyone I come in contact with as if they're my own family member. I enjoy forming relationships with people and building trust with my clients, On the side I also sew! I've been a seamstress for over 30 years!

Toni B.

$23.00/hour · Alexandria, VA

I have been a caregiver 40 years. Always had a good repore with elderly growing up. Being there to help a loved one played a major roll in my job. I've worked in Assisted living facilities, Nursing homes and absolutely love it. I've used machinery like hoyer lifts, and other things. I'd prefer to stay away from that and heavy lifting. I also had my own assisted living years ago in upstate Ny.. I'm very experienced and I make it my buisness to be punctual and dependable. I take pride in my skills and I do my very best at all times. Looking primarily for day shift or overnight.

I have a tendency of going beyond my job description, at work, I like to hear how the patient's day is going and build a friendly relationship with them. By doing so, I know and understand them better, mood wise and attitude. Being a caregiver disciplines me and shows me the other side of people who can not help themselves, so it becomes a blessing to say I help others. I also dance so physical fitness is also one of my passion along with physical therapy. I am proud of the fact that anytime a patient gets discharged, a thank you card is left with my name on it. My job is not easy but hearing a thank you makes it better.
