About Akua

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi! My name is Akua, and I'm a compassionate and reliable caregiver with over 6 years of experience working in a senior living community, along with a strong background in customer service and healthcare. I am a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) with experience in a medical office, where I assisted with vital signs, blood draws, scheduling, and patient care. This has helped me build strong attention to detail, empathy, and the ability to stay calm in fast-paced and sensitive situations. Working in a senior home for 6+ years has allowed me to develop patience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for helping others. I can assist with daily activities such as companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility support, medication reminders, and monitoring vital signs. I am BLS and first aid certified and always prioritize safety and quality care. I'm dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy supporting others' comfort and well-being.
