About Teresa

After receiving my Associates degree in Medical Assisting some years back I found myself caring for my dying father. It was a trying time for my family and I. Throughout this long ordeal we had help from some amazing caregivers. Their knowledge and skill made the little time he had left comfortable. Some time has passed since then and I have enjoyed the challenges of working in Home health care. First working for Lutheran Community Services and then one of Seattle's leading home healthcare co. The experience knowledge and skills I gained were only second to the incredible people I was fortunate enough to be able to care for. My approach to caregiving has always been to enhance my clients life. Always being respectful, compassionate, and caring knowing it is not easy for most to need our services. Versatile with approach to activities, socializing. Encouraging activities and a less sedentary life. I try hard to intuitively know when to inject myself into the clients world and when to step back and give space. Building a trusting relationship is key to my efforts as a caregiver demonstrated with reliability, honesty, and advocating for their needs. I love my work I am a professional certified HCA Nurse delegated are giver. I have a Associates degree in medical Assisting. I have extensive experience with quadriplegic and limited mobility care. Strong skill base with Alzheimer's and dementia clients. Specialize in diet specific cooking, and have cooked professionally in the past. I am currently working for one of Seattles leading elder care agencies and have exceeded expectation of their rigorous hiring criteria. I am currently seeking a private client and would love the chance to meet with you. My name is Teresa Whitfield my phone number 253-514-9236
