I love taking care of my patients! I'm a great companion and I have experience!

Compassionate, free-spirited woman who finds spiritual fulfillment in nourturing and caring for others. I have several years of experience working with all ages and demographics and varying physical, psychological and intellectual impairments. Would love to help where it's needed.

Hi there! I'm Caroline, and I have a passion for senior care and years of experience with senior patients. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and a non-smoker. I have worked at several nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospice organizations around Richmond, visiting and caring for the residents, coordinating activities, and providing music therapy, art therapy, conversation, and hands-on care. I provide help with errands, companionship, meal preparation, housekeeping, and transportation.

I see myself as a great caregiver because I am always willing to lend a helping hand. I'm patient, easy-going, hard-working, and kind. Helping others makes me feel good about myself. In helping others the selflessness of it enriches the lives of those being helped and their families. I'd have to say that one of my personal achievements I'm most proud of is helping one of my consumers that had cancer I took her to her medical appointments and her cancer went into remission.

My most valued skills I would say are empathy, consideration, and compassion. What attracted me to being a caregiver is that most people are in it for the money not because they really enjoy caring for someone. I lost all of my grandparents before 21. All 4 of them we took care of ourselves, I felt like that definitely made their passing way better and more relieving. We had a couple put into homes and had to take them out due to malnourishment, abandonment, and malpractice. Seeing that occur at such a young age made me realize early on everyone isn't meant to give care or even provide healthcare. I enjoy that I'm able to build a relationship and be trusted during these vulnerable times that the patient may be facing. A personal achievement I am proud of is definitely graduating college with my degree. I initially went for radiation therapy and withdrew for a multitude of reasons.

Experienced caregiver and registered medication aide with over a year of medication management and direct care experience specializing in memory care.

I have been caring for individuals of all ages since 2010. In 2015 I started working in a hospital setting with adults ages 18-100 assisting with care and rehabilitation. I currently have my Occupational Therapy Assistant license and certification. With this background, I have acquired a wide range of skills including assisting individuals with bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming, eating, creating ways and using techniques increase IND, and transferring individuals who may need physical assistance getting in and out of bed, in and out of the shower, and on and off of the toilet. I enjoy and very compassionate about caring for people. I am looking to get into caregiving because I like having more of a personal connection with people without all the complicated restrictions the hospital system has.

I am very patient and caring. I treat everyone especially the elderly like my own family members. I have great respect for those who are not able. I believe we are put on this earth to help one another.

Most of the jobs I've had require me to interact with different people. And with that, I've been able to learn to properly approach people. Also, I've grown up in large family taking care of all my family members, so I'm well versed on the responsibilities needed to table care of someone. Additionally, 2 of my family members are caregivers, so I've grown up in an environment where I've had the opportunity to learn about the different ways to take care of those who need additional help. In the future, I hope to be a nurse because I've always hoped to help others by providing the care they need.

I'm caring, compassionate, and I love to help people. I would love to make others lives a bit happier and to live out a true purpose.
