Four years ago I retired from nursing. Recently, I moved to Phoenix Arizona to be near family. I have one married daughter in Phoenix where I presently reside, and another married daughter in Peoria. My daughter and son-in-law in Peoria have one daughter and are currently expecting their second child. Prior to moving here, my most recent pertinent work experience was as a homecare non-medical provider to an senior woman in her Kansas home. Though hired as "non-medical care provider" much of my assistance with this woman did revolve around her medical needs as she was an end-stage cancer patient, as well as diabetic. I helped manage her medication schedule, transportation and ensuring she went to medical/doctor appointments. I also monitored her daily health needs such as blood pressure, blood sugars, etc. I would like to care for you or a loved one in your home, and assist you with some of your care needs. I am willing to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparations, exercise/physical therapy programs, transportation and occasional errands or grocery shopping. I enjoy reading, baking, music, walking and spending time outdoors, as well as spending time with my family. I would be delighted to come work for you! --Freida McMahon

Years ago, I found a job that would train me to work for them and I found I loved to care for the disabled. Ever since I have been employed by some type of care facility or a respite service. I have continued on my path to be better educated so I could better help my customers. I have a CNA, CMA, AND HHA license in the state of Ks.

I love helping people. I have been caring for people for many years. I know CPR. I do personal care, bathing, dressing, wound care, cooking, feeding, and anything needed.

I started out in this field after taking care of my grandma who lost her leg. She had to go through lots of therapy before going back home. Once she was home I was there for her each day. It was hard for her to be now cared for she was always the person helping everyone else. I truly enjoyed it and decided that this was something I could do to help others in the same situation. She never wanted to live in a nursing home I understood that so I thought of all the other people in the same situation who never thought they would be faced with a life changing illness. So after she died in 2007 I started taking care of others in their homes.

I'm a college student in the Occupational Therapy Assistant's program at Newman University in Wichita. I love working with the elderly, and I'm eager to find a job in the field that I will be working in later in life.
