I have been a home health aide for the elderly for nearly twenty years. I enjoy improving the quality of life for seniors. I am congenial, shop and prepare well-balanced and attractive meals, with any diet restrictions adhered to. I am skilled in most geriatric medical conditions, and easily assist with all activities of daily living. I am a good listener and a good conversationalist. I like to interact with those who like company.

I love taking care of people and being a companion

I am a masters level Social Worker with recent experience with Dementia Patients on an inpatient geri-psych unit. I am looking for a job where I can have flexibility with my hours and schedule. I have a great deal of professional experience in both the medical and psychiatric environments. I am a dedicated employee.

I became a "care giver" actually by chance. After graduation from college, I did not immediately have employment, and I met the care needs of elderly family members. I realized that, in fact, I enjoyed it, and decided to further the art of "giving care." Working with clients gives me an amazing sense of satisfaction. Each case is individualized, and each case requires a degree of critical thinking. I feel confident that I am able to "think critically" and to work with other members of the care team to personalize the treatment plan. My graduating from college is a personal achievement for which I am proud. And, that fact does lend some description to myself. I am also a volunteer for the Alzheimer's Association, and I am an avid sports fan and gardener.
