About Lisa

I am a reliable person who is easy to get along with and have a good sense of humor and can remain calm under pressure. I am organized, have a strong attention to detail, and sincere compassion for people to know that life exists at all stages. It is right in front of you. I took care of my step-grandmother for two years while working full-time. I took her to the grocery store, doctor appointments, kept the house clean, cooked for her, and would just sit with her to visit or just be in quiet. I believe in the connection of pets and their love with their owners, so I would take care of her dog for her too. I would track her medicine as she was unable to due to dementia. I had a hairdresser come to her house; it is important I believe to still feel that care. I would take her to church and events she could manage. I also helped take care of my mother during her battle with liver cancer with my sister. She was diagnosed at 76. My dad was 80 at the time. We would go to her doctor appointments, monitor her medicine, support her with love, joy, quiet times sitting on the swing, and visiting. I am an avid gardener and reader, so she would always have fresh flowers. I would take her to church and functions. I would sit with her at the hospital, work with the doctors, share information with my sister as communication is vital. We did work with hospice care in my own home until she passed away. My dad passed away shortly after. I personally am proud of how I came from a hard life, rose out of it, went to school, and had a blessing of a mother who never gave up on me, taught me values, and then how to have a beautiful heart and give that care to others...a gift that my own family maintains and will carry forward.

*****CARING*COMPASSIONATE*RESPECTFUL*DEPENDABLE*TRUSTWORTHY***** It is an honor to work with seniors in my community. I grew up taught to respect my elders and in doing so learned that seniors are just young adults in an aging body. I learned about the frustrations and the difficulties of doing things that used to be easy, about the depressing, and sometimes humiliating, fact of having to depend on another for daily living activities. I also learned of the joy of sharing time, stories, humor and life experiences, and the rewards that come from it for both parties. I currently live on a small hobby farm that includes horses, a donkey, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits and even a turkey. I spend quite a bit of time vegetable and fruit gardening and enjoy a variety of crafts. I am also a volunteer at the local senior center. I am married, with 5 grown children and 6 grandchildren, and am fortunate enough to still have both my parents! My specialties are Cancer Care, Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation, Post-Acute, Memory Care, and Hospice Care. I have an innate ability to anticipate the needs of my client, both emotionally and physically. I am open and approachable, and am able to comfortably converse with my client based on their interests and experiences. I'm known for giving great baths and showers and I'm nurse delegation certified, so I can assist with catheters, insulin, wound care and more. I have a clean, dependable car and insurance. I am willing to transport to appointments, outings and events or just stay home together. If you're looking for a provider with an outgoing, cheerful personality, then we may be the perfect match! grayfairy64@gmail.com

Caroline A.

$30.00/hour · Shelton, WA

Some residents at the Assisted Living Community call me Christmas, saying it's close to Carol , my nickname. They said it fits my personality. Willing to give love (as the song goes... on Christmas Day!), happy, funny, full of joy! I have been taking care of my Father who suffered from stroke for 10 years back in the Philippines, being one of his caregivers. I was also his Physical Therapist. We moved here in the US 5 years ago, and I have worked as a caregiver , then transitioned to work in the Med Room as a Medication Technician at Maple Glen Assisted Living in Shelton, WA. I consider it a calling given the opportunity to work there. I am a people person and loves taking care of elderly. I treat them as family and I enjoy listening to their stories, and attending to their needs. Having a Physical Therapy background, and with experience in home health, clinical, and hospital settings, I could offer different types of assistance based on the needs. I consider my time at Maple Glen as one of my career achievements. I love all of the residents and I became The Employee of the Month in less than a year. Being a caregiver is a calling for me. I am proud to be one and I enjoy doing it! It is not an easy job but coming from a Filipino family surrounded by big hearted love ones, I carry it wherever I go, and I live up to the values my parents had taught me, which I am passing on to my daughter and son.
