I have alot of years of caregiving experienceI also do all levels of house cleaning, errands, trips, companion, excercising etc. I do whatever needs to be done with individual to make them snjoy thier daily life. Fun facts:iam a retired opera singer, love crosswords, and I love to listen to swing music!

I've always been a natural care-taker. I practically raised my 4 younger siblings. I nannied while I was in college to help pay for school and had so many referrals that I had to stop taking clients. It is through one of those families that I eventually became a caretaker, the grandmother only wanted me to take care of her after watching how I was with her grandchildren. I am very patient, kind, understanding and I don't need to be told what to do. I pay attention to what needs to get done and if I see something needs doing I do it. I am always learning and will research on how I can do better. I love school and love learning so I am always researching new and better techniques but I have 10 years of experience in taking care of children and seniors so I know what needs to be done and I'm good at it. I enjoy being a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy helping people. I am very proud of learning physical therapy techniques so that I can properly help my clients with light exercises that help them to feel better. I am also a good cook, so I can help prepare meals and genuinely enjoy cooking. I am a great companion and can't wait to meet my new client.

My experience is with mentally and physically impaired youth but I'm looking to transition into senior care as I feel it's a very similar skill set and I truly enjoy the company of elders and bonding with those of generations before me.

1. I became a Caregiver over ten years ago, working in hospitals and helping the nurses treat the in-house patients. I also, took care of discharged patients in their homes and reported to the treatment team when needed. 2. I like Caregiving because it gives me a sense of joy, knowing that I have helped and a patient happy. 3. I am proud of my ability to share my talents and knowledge with the healthcare team. 4. I am always seeking ways too increase my healthcare knowledge and be up to date on skills.
