About Carissa

Experience: 3 yrs

For three years, I was a dedicated contract caregiver, providing compassionate support to in-home clients with special needs. My expertise extends to daily living activities-community connections, cleaning, assisting with bathing, dressing, and meal preparation-ensuring their comfort and overall well-being. As a CPR/first aid-certified professional, I offer medication reminders and emotional support. But it is more than a job for me! My personal journey caring for my father during his final moments in hospice care profoundly shaped my approach. It ignited a passion for empathy, honed my emotional intelligence, and taught me the art of active listening. I navigate sensitive situations with discretion, fostering trust and dignity for those I serve. Let's create meaningful connections.
