Hello I am a compassionate caregiver who has over 25 years of carefiving.

I am very passionate about the work that I do. I believe that each care plan should be individualized; and each person's needs should be evaluated and assessed on a regular basis. I enjoy the creativity that is involved with being a Caregiver, and I equally enjoy the amazing persons with whom I come into contact. In terms of my personal achievements, the one that I am the most proud of is my success and graduation from two Universities. I have a degree in both Nutrition Science and in Nursing. Similarly, I am certified in Basic Life Support, and I have an active license to practice as a Registered Nurse. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening and watching sports. My schedule is very flexible, and I work dutifully to meet the clients needs.

I'm a caring and compassionate caregiver and I make sure day to day needs of clients are met. What attracted me to be a caregiver is my love of taking care of people and spending good quality time with them while meeting their needs. What I enjoy most about caregiving is that I get the chance to put smile of people's faces. One of the personal achievements I'm proud of was a case I handled of a young adult, I was able to help with modeling he's behavior (one of the things he struggled with).

Open, flexible and experienced nurse of over ten years. Full confident in basic nursing skills, including transportation

SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN - RESPITE CARE I frequently care for a 9-year-old and a 4-year-old until mom gets home from work. I am a good fit for a family looking for daily care or a weekend break as an online graduate student at the University of Virginia, focusing on developmentally delayed kids. I have passed the criminal and DSS Child Protective Services background for the Easter Seals Respite Care Program and just completed the CPR/First Aid/Trauma for Infants, Children, and Adults. I will send it when appropriate; I also have completed the ABA 40-hour training and have some experience with ADHD, ADD, ASD, Down syndrome, and OCD in young children. I am a community mentor, and formally part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization and might be able to help with behavioral or learning issues. I have a student endorsement for my CDL driver's license; my wife and I live near Fredericksburg, VA. I will bring children's books to read, and together maybe we could practice phonological awareness, and practicing writing. I also have a YouTube and Netflix Kids subscription on your screen or my phone. I know keeping the kids calm, safe, occupied with a productive activity or challenged, fed and changed is important. I have references from all my families. Best, Gary

My name is Kiarra Douglas, and I am interested in being a caregiver for you and/or your loved ones. I have been providing compassionate and dependable care for over four years now, catering to over 55 wonderful people. My patience, strong communication skills, and pursuance of a career in occupation therapy support my natural ability to connect easily and create a pleasant environment. I genuinely enjoy helping people maintain their quality of life and feel valued in their daily routines. Watching small victories become life changing difference, I like to say. All in all, I am passionate and attentive, and would love to be your new caregiver!

Hello! My name is Sheila and I am a UVA graduate with plans of attending medical school. I have lots of experience working in the healthcare field ranging from working in an assisted living facility to working on the frontlines during the Covid-19 pandemic doing health screenings. I played soccer for 10+ years, like to cook (some even say it's pretty good ), and love fun conversation!

I am a certified nurse aide who recently moved to Fontana, California from Virginia. I became a caregiver from a very young age. I started working as a child care provider for a neighbor when I was 12 years old, and from there, I realized my love of caring for others. I have a nurturing and empathetic nature, which helps me comfort and soothe those I care for. I am a patient and gentle person, and I noticed that my temperament and personality really helped me on the job. I became a nurse aide at an assisted living facility last year, and for the first time took care of the elderly. I developed a respect and awe for those older than us and find myself very lucky that they were comfortable enough with me to share stories of their past, their histories. I am a certified nurse assistant now, but in the future I hope to become a registered nurse, and eventually a nurse practitioner. I have done a year of my bachelor's degree in nursing so far, and hope to finish my schooling when my 3-year-old daughter begins school. I am proud of the work I have done as a nurse aide back in Virginia and am looking forward to going back to work here in California! It truly means a lot to me that I am providing comfort and help to those who can no longer do things for themselves. I appreciate that I am able to make a difference in their lives!

I am a friendly and helpful person. I enjoy spending time with my client and making them feel loved and cared.

I've had a lot of experience as a companion, caregiver, and a person to run erands for a senior citizen. My mother lived with us for the last 15 years of her life. She lived to be 102 and was able to pass on in her own bed at home surrounded by her family. I was her best friend, companion, caregiver, and the person who ran errands for her. I took her to church, her circle meeting, the doctor, shopping, and outings. I believe in encouraging a person to keep her dignity and enabling them to have as normal life as possible. I would like to do that again.

I helped take care of a very close family friend in his last years. It was very hard, but a very rewarding experience as well. I was able to ensure he was comfortable and well looked after for his last years. I also volunteered as a teenager in senior homes in high school from time to time as well. I feel it is important to honor our elderly. I also want to have experience for when I must take care of my own parents. I feel everyone deserves love, compassion, and respect in their hard, elderly years.

I would love to support your family by being a caregiver to your mother. Caregiving for older individuals is my life's passion. I graduated from Georgetown University having studied caregiving and spent time on a chaplaincy team at a hospice. I am currently going back to school at Georgetown for a pre-medical program so that I may apply to medical school and be a psychiatrist for older patients. I have experience as a caregiver to a gentleman with specials needs and loved the experience becoming a part of his family and making their days easier. I have volunteer experience as a companion to elderly patients as well, visiting patients weekly on behalf of Capital Caring.

Hello, my name is Sasha Dofflemeyer, and I am a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Public Health and Nutrition. I applied to this position to particularly care for the elderly, although I am willing to care for anyone, should we be a good fit. I've worked with Downs syndrome, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, and other illnesses, as well as with the elderly. You might ask what I think makes me a good care provider. Well, I have always found that hard to put into words, but maybe one way to describe it is that I have always felt like I have a lot to give. I am very caring about people, and cannot stand to see a person suffering, in pain, or without companionship. I love companionship, can talk to anyone about anything under the sun, and can do everything from toileting to cooking from-scratch, home-cooked meals. A student of nutrition, I particularly find it of interest to study what foods, if any, may particularly benefit an illness, and what nutrients an individual will need. I aim to provide top quality, holistic care.

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.
