I am an Optimal Aging caregiver \"Diamond Partner\" I started care giving with my grandma after my grandpa died. She was pretty self sufficient at that time, but needed help with reading, driving, cleaning up, etc.. Later I went to college and volunteered with a local senior care facility where I helped with some personal and physical needs as well as companionship. I have worked with many Alzheimer and dementia clients. My grandma and my father were diagnosed with dementia so I have the experience. With my clients I have a patient and calm demeanor. Working with people to accomplish the things important to them is important to me and, I have enjoyed seeing clients joy while being able to participate in art classes, gardening, museums and more when we go out to play. I have worked with people over the years who have different abilities, religions, personal preferences and ages. Each person is unique and I try to be respectful and honoring to them all. I have a lot of varied work experience. Currently I am available to work in the Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Redmond, and Mercer Island areas.

Hello. I believe that every person that I work with is an opportunity to change a life. In a world so full of hate and confusion, I want to show love and compassion. I believe in serving with dignity, respect and patients. I listen to my clients and try to work with them in a way that they see fit. I make sure to customize my care for each individual. I look forward to serving you and your loved one.

Young man with a nursing background available for caregiving.

Since I was little nothing excited me more than helping people emotionally mentally and physically. When I was in my junior year of high school I had the opportunity to get my CNA license and it's the best decision I've ever made. The best part of my job is getting to know the people I take care of. Learning of their past and experiences and being able to gain trust and loyalty in one another is so important to me. I'm going to school for my BSN and I feel so fortunate to be a part of the medical field and get some insight.

I am a Social Worker (MSW) with experience in home health care, companion care, and rehabilitation services. I've worked in hospital and residential environments, group homes, and private 1:1 care. My background includes working with seniors as well as physically and mentally challenged of all ages. I was born and raised in SO CAL but moved out-of-state when I was a young adult. I recently returned and plan to stay here with my family and old friends. I have a number of hobbies such as singing jazz, knitting, gardening, bicycling, and hiking. I love animals. People tell me I am unusually patient and easy to talk to. I understand that the work I do is very personal and I have the deepest respect for each and every person to live as they choose. I conduct myself in a manner that is friendly and professional. I am interested in a part-time schedule. I am willing to do some overnights when the need arises.
