    Hello my name is Kalim and I am a private caregiver. I do work for an agency and I'm looking for a private client. I have been a caregiver for five years and I can say I love it. Most of my clients say I'm very sweet and strong will. I became a caregiver because I did not like how my grandma was being treated at the nursing homes. I love seeing my clients happy in their own home. I have experience with alzheimers and dementia. I am familiar with using a hoyer lift. I love to be around seniors I believe I've learned the most from them.
