To know that I'm giving my best to others in time of need is what gives me purpose. I became a caregiver for my mother, when she was recovering from several surgeries, in different skilled nursing facilities. All the while, making many observations concerning the staff and noticing their attention was not up to my standards of what genuine care should be. I knew then, that I could make a difference and was compelled to. Since, I've made strides in obtaining education with certifications; continue with on-line courses to keep me informed with state guidelines and any changes that occur in the health care field...because this is vital. Moreover, I sincerely feel this is my true calling; I find it very rewarding to nurture. I possess emotional and mental maturity necessary for establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with my client and the client's family. I also encompass dignity, patience, courtesy, integrity and a warm sense of humor. Oh! And I love to cook! My current availability is: Monday, Tuesday Thursday and Saturday mornings to early afternoons from 8a.m. to 2p.m. I've been a caregiver for over 18 years now! I have reliable transportation w/a Texas drivers license. My automobile insurance, CNA, TB screening and CPR are all current and in good standing Thank you for the consideration. Well wishes finding the right fit!

I am careful, safe, organized and coordinated in transporting clients for their needs whether it is for picking up medications, getting them to and from their appointments, filling out forms, helping with their shopping, all personal care service for their daily living for and anytime they want some simple conversation and just not be alone. To give and share with clients, one must be compassionate and patient and have an understanding that those needing care would like for the caregiver to understand their needs. There happens to be an advantage to being a caregiver that can put themselves in the shoes and situation of those with the need. My joy is realized when the needs are filled and the cared for people are grateful and thankful. I want to give the care and experience the joy often. I have experienced this joy with my parents as I cared for them. Currently I am a part-time caregiver for various clients providing them all the assistance they may need. Professional and courteous, always on time. Administering medication and food through a gastric tube. Bathing and attending to other personal hygiene and grooming needs. Food preparation and feeding client, according to strict dietary requirements and procedures Cleaning and light housekeeping (client's laundry, dishwashing, cleaning spaces used by client and caregivers, cleaning therapy equipment) Assisting with therapies (cognitive, speech, occupational) and range-of-motion exercises, including manual transfers to and from bed to assist client with weight-bearing and balance exercises. General companionship and interaction with client (i.e. reading books, cognitive therapies). Driving client to and from appointments and activities in a client-provided wheelchair accessible van.

My experience with the elderly has taught me a lot. I possess ample rapport building skills and knowledge of community based available social activities for the elderly. Adept at identifying topics of interest, I make sure that they enjoy my company and I also enjoy theirs.I possess a strong passion to work for elderly and am equipped with CPR and First aid certification. My 7 years of experience as an elderly caregiver has enabled me to understand the needs of the elderly. I am well versed in assisting them in daily activities. You should hire me because I offer what you seek in terms of experience, qualifications and expertise regarding care giving. I am well versed in elderly care giving, experienced with dementia patients, possess own vehicle as well as driver's license and am able to carry out household tasks. Seeing people who cannot look after themselves happy and comfortable in their lives is what makes this work so worthwhile. The fact that I can play a valuable role in maintaining someone's life and dignity is the driving force behind my work.
