I'd describe my personality as reliable, compassionate, caring I like caring for seniors because I get a lot of satisfaction seeing the difference I can make with them. I started caring for seniors when my own children were getting old enough for me to be away at times. I then worked in the schools as a para professional in schools. I returned to working as a home health aide with an agency when Covid came and schools closed and have done so for 4 years. Am looking to work privately for a client in need of personal care. In my spare time, I like to I enjoy staying active with exercising, biking, walking, rollerblading and enjoy trying new things. I also enjoy music and play the piano. One thing you should know about me is I am very reliable, caring, compassionate, efficient, experienced in home health and consider myself a good communicator. My skills include working with dementia and hospice. Familiar with equipment used with elders. Trained in CPR and first aid.
Cindy provided excellent compassionate care to my wife during the end stages of her Parkinson’s disease. The 12 hour night shift required transfers from bed to commode and back, diaper changes and hygiene care as well as a rigorous schedule of position changes and medications. Cindy handled all of that with ease while being very careful to be sure my wife was kept as comfortable and pain free as possible. During the rare times that communication and companionship were possible, Cindy was able to establish a loving relationship where my wife considered much more as a dear friend than a stranger who was her caregiver. Cindy took the initiative to suggest ways to improve her care and comfort such as gentle stretching exercises to help keep her limber after she became bedridden. She was always on time, upbeat, sensitive, caring and completely trustworthy and reliable. Her caregiving skills and experience coupled with her compassion and empathy made her invaluable to us during this most challenging period of our lives and I highly recommend her.
