I am a good listener, curious, and enjoy being outdoors. Most of my experience over 10 years has been working with individuals with Developmental and Physical disabilities. I have worked in Maryland, Delaware, UK, and now Washington State. I have worked with clients in different age groups & life stages ranging from; Teenagers, young adults, middle age and older adults. I have also about 6 months of CNA experience, and 3 years plus of managerial experience. I am comfortable with computers, Microsoft office Programs, GPS, and driving. I enjoy helping my clients to complete both simple and complex tasks together with them. I communicate well, follow through, and believe in preserving a persons dignity. My goal is help my client meet their wants/needs and to put a smile on their face. I like to engage them in conversation to get know them. I am most proud of having completed my Masters in Governance and Public Policy last year.

Being a caregiver give hope and faith, I considered these terms because as children we want to feel safe as a elderly we want to feel safe. My compassion to others is all their is to give nothing less. I recognize for ability to provide emotional and physical support clients and staff. Very excellent communication ability as well cultural sensitivity to deal with diversity population. Five years on experience geriatric care within homes and assisting living environments.

As a nursing student, I am looking for a job over the summer where I can be of assistance to those in need. I have been instructed in a variety of skills including vital signs, bedpans, hand hygiene, bad making, and bed baths. I also have certifications in Basic Life Support as well as CPR/AED.

Extremely outgoing, friendly and flexible caregiver with a background in education and experience working with adults and children in the home, school and community setting. I enjoy caretaking because it provides me with the opportunity to connect and bond with my clients, help them live a happy and comfortable lifestyle as they age, utilize and improve upon my skillset, develop new skills in the process and learn from the experiences and stories from those I care for.

I am a very caring and compassionate person. I love helping others in any way that I can. I became a caregiver because I know that a lot of people need help with doing things that they aren't able to do for themselves, so I wanted to help with that. I mostly enjoy seeing people happy and comfortable when being helped.
