I have been working with the elderly both with and without Dementia for 9 years. in memory care, assisted living facilities and in-home care. Also have tons of experience with hospice. In the past, I have also worked with children and adults with special needs. Helping and caring for people/children is my passion. Its the only thing Ive ever been good at. I love to be outdoors and stay active. I have 2 dogs and am a animal lover! I am detail oriented, dependable and compassionate I was a Certified Nurse Assistant

My past 10 years experience in taking care of seniors has brought so many memories I'll cherish, I have gained lots of knowledge, as well as compassion being there to support seniors during times of change is most rewarding. I am responsive to their needs with dignity and respect. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your loved one soon.

I am a caring, kind, trustworthy and responsible person looking to help senior citizens with tasks they may find difficult to complete themselves. I can assist with grocery shopping, laundry needs, cooking, cleaning, home organization, running errands, as well as hair styling services. I started out by caring for my elderly God Mother for many years until she passed. I helped with cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, as well as keeping her hair well maintained. I am a licensed cosmetologist since 2009, specializing in senior citizen clientele. In addition to tending to daily needs, I have also worked at local Assisted Living communities in the Hair Salon. I have experience with senior citizens with very little mobility, as well as experience working with individuals dealing with memory loss and Alzheimer's. I am very polite and respectful, and I am eager to help in any way that I can. Please reach out to me today!

I began volunteering to care for in-home terminally ill through a local hospice and realized the great passion I had for the elderly. That lead me to pursue training to become a Certified Nurse Aide and Patient Care Technician. I have been working part-time at a senior care and rehab center for a year, especially the Memory Unit which houses the residents suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's and/or mental illness. I absolutely love caring for those who suffer in this way and desire to continue in this specific area as I further my career. My own father suffered with Alzheimer's Disease in his final years of life and it was through my personal experience that I learned so much about myself as well as the dynamics of Alzheimer' Disease and how it impacts the entire family unit. I love my job caring for the elderly who suffer in this capacity, but I desire to work in a one-to-one situation. If the right situation arises in a full time capacity I am willing to terminate my current work position to fulfill my desire to use my skills in one on one care. I have experience with Seniors in non-professional capacities where I invest time with them because it is a joy. Some of the ways I have invested my time have been to plan and organize activities for Seniors who are able to attend such as luncheons, fall tour travel, craft clubs, reading clubs, game clubs and Bible Studies, I also visited the shut-ins who are unable to leave their home unassisted, to read to them, play games with them or just chat, realizing that I may be the only person they converse with that day. It is my goal to improve the quality of their life and enhance the activities of daily living for them. In conclusion, I do what I do because I value the elder generation. I feel they are the forgotten and overlooked ones in our world today that deserve our best on their behalf. I have and will continue to work to bring quality of life to them in every way I can.
