Nahaila O.

I am 27 years old. I have 9 years of Caregiving and medication administration experience. I currently am working in an assisted living as a clinical specialist in infectious control of diseases and prevention. I have been caring for elderly, and people with disabilities since I was a little girl. My mom ran an adult family home, so I always had a bond with working with people. I have worked in skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living and Hospice. I am compassionate, organized, responsible, and reliable. I belong in this field because I want to improve the quality of life for the seniors and others in our community.

In addition to the regular requirements of of a caregiver, I'm very hard working, I'm cheerful, compassionate and have extremely good creative skills in the arts and I would include cooking as an art. I like to go the extra mile and do little things that sometimes can make all the difference. For instance, putting towels in the dryer so they're nice and warm after a shower, or making sure that meals are served garnished and attractive. It's rewarding to help someone and cheer them up, see them smile ! I enjoy the variety and working with people one on one, and I enjoy working in their homes. I think the overall achievement of working with many people since 2012 is what I'm proud of. I do enjoy making them smile and laugh and taking them out of their troubles at least for a little while, while performing tasks in their home that need to be done. I do not do transfers .This means the person must be totally ambulatory. I cannot help them get up from a chair or get out of bed, nor can I reposition someone in bed. But, I do everything else. Available full time. except Friday afternoon. I can also do weekend, 24/7 shifts or long weeks 24/7.
