I have over 4 years of hands-on caregiving experience, and I think it makes me a great fit for elder and companion care. As a Direct Support Professional, I've helped adults with autism and developmental disabilities with things like bathing, dressing, hygiene, and meal prep. I also kept their living spaces clean and stuck to consistent daily routines. Those same skills apply directly to helping seniors stay comfortable and independent. I'm good at building real connections with the people I care for, not just getting tasks done. I check in with them daily and take the time to actually know them. I've also learned how to notice when someone's struggling emotionally or physically, and how to calmly help them through it. That matters a lot when someone's health or mood can change day to day.
