I started out caring for my mother in 2001, with that experience I learned to work a hoyer lift to help my mother transport in and out of bed safely. That experience allowed me to learn about home care on a profound level. Handling medical appointments, medical care, preparing meals, bathing, grooming and spending time with my mom watching TV, playing cards, and conversation. I decided to become a certified private care aide and then a certified home health aide. My passion in home care is due to the fact that I love caring for people and making a difference in their lives. I now have the opportunity to allow a client to stay as independent as possible while giving the family some relief and peace of mind that their loved one is cared for in a compassionate professional manner. I have worked for 4 families since 2011. I truly enjoyed my time with all the families and clients. I am looking for another family so I can assist in making their lives better as well.
Carmelita took care of my severely disabled sister in law for more than 3 years. During this time she provided healthy meals, managed multiple medications, kept the home clean and provided companionship. My sister in law was able to stay in her own home until her death thanks to Carmelita. Our family will always be grateful.
