A little over 10 years ago I got a call from my aunt while at work that my mom had almost fallen from a step ladder at my house. She was by herself and we had just lost my dad to his battle with cancer a few months prior so it was on that day that I quit my job as an event planner to stay home and care for my elderly mother. She has forever changed my view on the importance of caring for loved ones in times of need. My family lost a wonderful soul over a year ago and I find myself wanting to share my compassion, love, and assistance to other seniors who are in need because I believe in sharing this blessing with others to live each day to its fullest.

I appreciate you taking the time to view my profile. I am a healthcare professional with 6 years of experience. I am trained with equipment like hoyer lifts, transfer boards, and catheter care. I have worked with patients with amputations, post-partum care, traumatic brain injuries, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I am easy going. Thank you for your time and consideration. Maggie

Hello :) I just moved here from Alaska! I have a passion for helping people with whatever needs they might have. I'm very patient, kind, empathic, and love to make sure people feel comfortable in any situation. I have 2 years of experience as a caregiver.

I think I am a great caregiver because I genuinely care for the elderly. And to make someone feel comfortable during a hard time is the most rewarding feeling in the world for me. I got into being a caregiver because I was helping my grandma through her last few months as she was on hospice it made me want to make a career out of it.

Hi! My name is Shantis(: Im from Anchorage, Alaska currently living in Miami Florida. While living in Alaska My mother and I owned and administrated an assisted living home for 3 consecutive years. In that time I have gained a great amount of knowledge in this industry. After running the assisted living home for so many years I decided to continue my passion of helping the elderly and worked many jobs as a live-in caregiver as well as a home health aid. I am currently certified in the following: Occupational Safety & Health, CPR, BLS, Therap, ASAM & Mandt training. I look forward to hearing from you! Blessings(:

I so enjoy helping Seniors--they are treasures! I am a 2X certified caregiver and recently re-certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. I am kind, punctual, and not into phones or TV. While growing up in Alaska, I adored my grandmother, and in my twenties enjoyed visiting my older neighbors. I attended college for 3 1/2 years, and was a history major with Honors, with a minor in Literature, and with Biology, Anatomy, and Chemistry classes thrown in, as I was considering nursing . I have traveled a bit (on my last trip to Paris I rented an apartment--oh-la-la!), so I enjoy conversing on a wide range of topics. I've worked in public schools, where I ran a after-school program with 50 kids and 7 staff (I loved helping children) and later worked in the offices of two law firms, and for the Department of Defense, helping angry people resolve pay grade issues. Nothing makes me happier than when the Senior client I currently substitute for says, "you are so kind!" I tell her that no, she is. She's 93, sharp as a whip, and has gotten me into reading mystery novels with her and watching Judge Judy then laughing at all the silliness. For hobbies, I'm learning to paint watercolor. I also sing in a choir and play the flute. I was a homemaker for several years and enjoyed turning a house into a home for my children. I like keeping a house homey for a client as I think there is such value in that. I enjoy doing light housekeeping, cooking the foods they like, and full dressing, toileting, adult diapers, and bathing are no problem. As for night trips to the bathroom, having had light-sleeping kids, I don't mind that at all. I can also do a Senior appropriate exercise program, but I am unable to transport to appointments. I do need Sunday off, from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. To reach me, e-mail or texting my phone number is best. I'll e-mail, text or call back (your preference) within 24 hours. Thanks so much!

Greetings! I am retired from the medical field as well as grew up in a medical family. I have experience with caring for others with different comorbidities. I am patient and caring as well as very respectful. In my free time I enjoy playing with my grandkids, geocaching and hiking, and flying. I've lived in Alaska for 31 years and have no plans to ever leave. My husband is retired Air Force so I do have base access as a dependent/spouse. I also have reliable transportation.

Good caregiver because: I'm smart, experienced, handyman, funny I will make you laugh, stong, genital, protective. Father figure !
