I'd describe my personality as empathetic, caring with a good disposition, kind warm I like caring for seniors because I care about their safety, comfort and overall wellbeing. I'm looking for a job that will give me the satisfaction of positively contributing to the health, comfort and wellbeing of others. I started caring for seniors 21 years ago. In my spare time, I like to bake, garden. read One thing you should know about me is I have a good disposition and like to create comfortable, peaceful and enjoyable atmospheres around me. My skills include cooking nutritious delicious meals, helping with activities of daily living, medication reminders and Drs visits. Assistance with mobility and cognitive issues. Light housekeeping, bathing, feeding, incontinent care, errands etc.
To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Helena as she seeks continued employment as a home health aide. Helena was the primary caregiver for my mother for the past five years. Helena managed all aspects of my mother's care through her battle with Alzheimer's. Helena's responsibilities began with managing daily visits to the local senior center, food shopping and preparation, healthcare oversight and companionship. As my mother's Alzheimer's progressed, Helena's responsibilities evolved to provide more hands-on support including but not limited to feeding, dressing, and bathing my mother, as well as administering her medications. She did this in addition to ordering groceries, preparing meals, housekeeping and getting my mother to her frequent doctor appointments. Helena's care and compassion for my mother made it possible for us to keep her in her own home for many years, which was her desire, until the disease progressed to a point where it was no longer possible. Helena is a spiritual person of high integrity. She truly became a part of our family. In closing, I'd like to restate my strong support for Helena's candidacy as a home health care aide for you or your loved one. I'm confident that she will surpass your expectations. Sincerely, Ticia
