This is a criminal background check required for all caregiver before they can message families.
I'm a care provider near Circle Center School in Yorkville. I'm comfortable taking vitals, assisting with medication management and prompting, all aspects of hygiene including bathing/showering/toileting, and I'm strong enough to safely transfer an average-sized adult from wheelchair to commode, etc. I enjoy dogs and cats, can manage household chores including cooking, have my own reliable car, and am able to help with errands, shopping, and doctor appointments. I am fully vaccinated. I can pass a background check and provide references. I have provided part-time home health for local seniors consistently since 2019. I've also raised 7 kids and have worked in computational research/academia for 29 years but now I wish to work in care-giving full-time. On summer weekends I work at a local horse barn but have some flexible hours available then as well. I prefer to work within 8 miles of Yorkville. I'm punctual, reliable, and strive to be kind and patient in all my interactions.
We were so lucky to have found Carol! She took wonderful care of my mother for a year and a half. Carol is kind, patient, compassionate and extremely conscientious. She was always very concerned about my mother’s safety. She helped manage her medications and helped her with showers and dressing. Carol was a wonderful companion to my mother as well! She took my mom to lunch & to outings to the park and shopping, as well as to her local doctors’ appointments. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Carol!
