About Ikenna

Experience: 3 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello there, My name is Ikenna, but you can call me IK for short. I have a BS and MS degrees in Biochemistry, and currently in medical school, but on leave of absence at the moment so as to sort out my finances before continuing. My care giving experience started way back when I was in high school. I gave care to my grandmother at that time. I've also worked in home care agencies for the past 4yrs where I provided geriatric care for the clients I worked with at that time. My experience includes ambulation care (including post surgical care patients), gastrostomy-Jejunostomy tube care, Parkinson's and muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer's/dementia patients; patients with tracheostomy and assisted breathing; light house keeping and meal preps as well. I am fully vaccinated and have my own transportation. I currently work as an EMT, but looking for something to do during my off days in order to supplement my income. Thank you for your anticipated consideration to my application.

We have been using IK for many months now for my husband's ADL and somethings related to his physical strength. He has been very good in all he does he has a lot of medical knowledge and is very compassionate. We would highly recommend his to anyone who needs a good care giver.
