Hi, my name is Latisha, I've been a caregiver for over 20 years. I chose this field from actually going to the doctor. I loved how the nursing staff catered to their patients. I also enjoy meeting different personalities. I have a very extensive background in dementia and alzheimers. I have received several awards such as home health aide of the year 3 years in a row, several hospice hearts, and many hugs and thank you. I'm most proud of being able to use my skills to take care of my mom. My hospice background allowed me to help my siblings through that process. I will take care of your love one just as I would mine. I will not disappoint you.

Hello, I go by Lay for simplicity. I have been a caregiver for about 6, almost 7 years now on and off. I was a CNA for about 4 years of that time and then did a little MA and home health in other areas. For the most part, I love giving care and companionship to those in need. It's more of a rewarding feeling knowing your helping make someone's day better and in some cases, it's the little things that count. Truly believe that caregiving is not just a job, it's a calling. It makes my day to make someone else's! My personality will and can keep anyone on there toes. I'm very upbeat, free spirit, helpful, open mined, great listener, charismatic, outgoing and professional all in one. If you love help from bright people, I'm your gal! Never a dull moment with me.

I have about 7 years experience in the healthcare industry. This includes 3 years working in a long term care facility as a cook and also as a CNA. I have taken care of 6 older men at the end of their lives and have my prerequisites for Masters in Occupational Therapy (MOT). This includes about 70 hours of working with O.T.s in geriatric, pediatric and a hospital settings. In addition to these experiences I have also taught holistic health classes to seniors that include the topics of nutrition, physical, mental and spiritual health. In these classes we practice Yoga and Tai Chi done in and around a chair as part of our body work. Since I am an older person myself and have had a number of health concerns and challenges through the years, I enjoy being able to share what has and hasn't worked for me in regards to my own health and working with the concerns of aging. I have always had "older" friends. Even when I was young I seemed to develop deeper relationships and friendships with aunts, uncles, neighbors and even landlords and employers. Trying to help others to find joy through a deeper connection to themselves, their situation and their lives usually bringsvit's own sense of rewards for me. On a personal note, I enjoy travel, seeing new place and experiences new cultures. I believe by experiencing diversity in its many forms we can begin to see how we are all connected and the oneness we all share. This in turn can help all of us find a sense of our own self and bring meaning to our lives. Often the most important thing we can do for each other is to simply listen and be with each other.

I like to help people's lives run smoothly. That is reflected in my full-time profession as well.

Hello! I had an extensive business career in corporate businesses- recently left after 30 years and am looking for a part-time position that gives back to others! My husband and I have raised 6 kids, 3 of our own and 3 nephews we adopted 8 years ago. I have always had a fondness for the elderly and cared for many in my family. I was born 20 years after my siblings - so my parents raised me in their 50's/60's - I think this had an impact on why I have this fondness. I am very trustworthy, reliable, outgoing, friendly and kind. My rate may not be the lowest, my care and attention will be outstanding. I hold a Bachelor's degree in business, some masters level work also. I look forward to talking. I live on the North end of Grand Rapids, prefer the North end of the city - open to discussing other locations. Hope to talk soon! Stephanie
