Hi! Thank you for reading my profile. I understand this is an important decision for you. I have a simple approach for giving care - I am away from my elderly parents in Ethiopia, and I ask what kind of care would I want for my parents? I try to give a level of care that I would be happy with if my own parents were receiving it. Over the years, I have learned that this has to do as much with empathy as it does with skill. I am a CNA, and I have 11 years of experience in senior care, and just as importantly, it makes me happy to do my job well. I have worked with many wonderful families, and have made very dear friends in this job. On a personal note, I am married and have two children and I have lived in Northern Virginia over 18 years. I also have a big extended family. We enjoy getting together for family meals and going to church events. Thank you again for reading my profile. I hope we will work together soon. Note: I am fully vaccinated.
For six years, our nurse Aster-provided exceptional care, compassion, and dedication to my mother. She went far beyond basic caregiving duties and truly became part of our family. Every day she helped with grooming, feeding, preparing delicious home-cooked meals, and ensuring my mother was comfortable, safe, and treated with dignity. Aster also handled transportation to doctor appointments and always made sure my mother received the best care possible. What meant the most to our family was the genuine love and kindness she showed every single day. She cared for my mother as if she were her own. Because of her reliability and devotion, I was able to take vacations and have peace of mind knowing my mother was in the best possible hands. Aster’s patience, warmth, and professionalism are truly rare qualities. I cannot thank her enough for the years of outstanding care and support she gave our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated caregiver.
