This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 10 yrs
For several years, before transitioning to private caregiving, I provided case management while managing teams of residential staff who along with myself provide in-home, companion, and personal assistant services. I work well with individuals who want routine support (grooming, bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders; companionship, activity planning, community engagement; making and keeping appointments, etc). I work well with individuals who need exceptional support (special meal, behavior, and safety plans; incontinence needs; mobility support, augmented communication, etc). I am an advocate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and families. Dementia Capable Care Specialist. Hospice Volunteer. Registered with the Consumer Direct Care Network. AmeriCorps alumna. Army veteran.
I relocated while recovering from leg surgery and found Emily when my assistant became unavailable. Emily is professional. She never missed a day. She had other clients and those schedules never interfered with mine. With her support, for several months, I kept all medical appointments, did weekly grocery shopping, had two outpatient procedures, explored my new community, and was able to visit family in the next state. I have regained my independence. As a retired Registered Nurse, I highly recommend Emily.
