About Yelena

1. I have become a caregiver because throughout my whole life I have had to take care of my loved ones and now I am able to continue doing that while helping others in need. 2. I love the feeling of seeing my patient getting better or slowly wanting to get out of be every morning. I put my all into caring for my patient and I love developing a relationship. 3. My greatest personal achievement that I am proud of is I have always continued to learn more and develop further skills in hopes of being able to help someone who would need those kinds of expertise. 4. I love the sunshine here in California I relocated here from Washington last week, I love seeing the nature and my favorite thing in the world are waterfalls.

    $25.00/hour · Carmichael, CA
    My name is Margaret and I am actively seeking a caregiving position. I have been with my current client for 3 1/2 years but the time has come to make a change. I am a Dementia and Alzheimer's specialist. I am experienced in Memory Care. Memory Care clients are my favorite people in all of healthcare! Though my first pick is with the Dementia and Alzheimer's clients, I have had other clients with other conditions, such as, stroke, diabetes and congested heart failure etc.. In 2011 when my ex mother in law became sick I became one of her caregivers. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed caring for her. I do believe this is my calling. I was once offered a position as manager of a home health company. I did not think I could do that job. I was right because I need to be the caregiver not the office person. I love my job. I like everything about caregiving. I love my seniors. I love their stories and their laughter. I'm happy when they are happy. I look forward everyday to seeing my seniors. I love cooking, cleaning and fussing over my seniors, so I'm a natural at caregiving. Remember if you love what you do it's never a job. My fee starts at $25 an hour. My fee increases if the shift is split. Also would like employer to pay a share of taxes. I am currently working for $24 an hour but I am not so sure that after 36.5 months it's working. So money is not the deciding factor for me. If you are looking for an experienced Alzheimer and or Dementia CNA , I could be the one!
