About Yolanda

I'm a great Caregiver because I'm compassionate towards my patients. They are someone's mother sister brothers uncles aunts etc.. . I feel I should treat my patients as I would want someone to treat my loved ones. I have a great outgoing personality I tend to always smile regardless of the situations. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is the satisfaction I get after finishing with a patient their smiles are Rewarding! Helping someone if only to have a small conversation & having them feel as if their not alone is rewarding for me. My Personal achievement in life is knowing I have made a difference in people's lives like I said even if I have made them smile then I know I have made a difference.

I started my day with getting my residents bathed groomed for breakfast. Did blood pressures, blood sugars, feed those that needed assistance. Changed linens on beds that needed it then helped with taking residents to activities as individuals requested. Checked randomly on residents as the day passed taking them to lunch or putting them to bed for naps.

Teresita M.

$25.00/hour · Seattle, WA
A caregiver of seven years trained to handle a variety of health and behavioral situations, I am aware of the impulse of families to want to ensure the health and well-being of loved ones. The help may just call for daily living activities with extra touches that make life worthwhile: decent exercise, tasty healthy meals, a clean, pleasant environment, a good listener and conversationalist, and kind, competent care. Some situations, however, require attending to seemingly insignificant, but crucial tasks, such as reminders to drink enough liquids, to move body and limbs periodically to avoid pressure points and muscle atrophy. I believe my care is dispensed with respect, kindness, and purpose, mindful their need for such greater than ever. A general "How are you?" might be followed with a specific "Do you feel dizzy",; and too long a spell on the couch will suggest an exercise or outside to smell the roses. The idea, above all, is to provide for the well-being of body and soul. A wise tip I learned is to give old people something to look forward to, whether a fun treat or an item in their bucket list. It may not always be possible, but sometimes, even just trying helps. My career history is eclectic, but caregiving suits me because I believe I make a difference in the lives of those in my care; more often than not, the tables are turned to make me pay attention. I consider my charges' health and well-being challenges, such as easing a cynic's attitude with kindness or making one's last days a comfort. By researching and learning about their ailments before I take over, I make certain I "do no harm". I have gained hands on and annual online training from Home Health Aide courses and nurse delegated work. An energetic, resourceful worker, I offer empathy, kindness, and a bright outlook. They are what I gave my mom, now lovingly sent off to join dad, with plenty to spare for others.
