For 8 years I managed a Spinal Clinic that primarily served the elderly. I assisted them with mobility, with comfort when they were nervous about new treatments, and answered questions they were too afraid to ask the doctor. I also took care of my grandmother growing up. She lived in a little house next to us but wasn't able to fully care for herself. I've assisted my own aging and diabetic mother with everything from bathing, toileting, preparing meals, running errands, etc--specifically after major illnesses and surgeries. I've also done volunteer work at Nursing Homes while in school. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. For the last 2 years I've been working as a full time Nanny.

Hello! My name is Jessica and I am seeking caregiver opportunities because I took care of my Grandma while she was sick. I was fortunate to be in a position to help her at the time and I understand that is not the case with everyone. I have found that I get along with the elderly generation better than my own at times. I am training to be a yoga instructor and recently received my certification for Senior Training. I am passionate about caregiving opportunities with people of all ages. I find it a rewarding experience.
