About Kala

I'm a 25-year-old female nursing student (following my grandmother's footsteps) with no children. I love to help others. I had an elderly grandmother that was very dear to my heart whom I lost to Lupus and many other illnesses. This has pushed me even harder to make her proud and also help the elderly. My father had brain surgery almost a year ago and my aunt had lung cancer. My passion is to help others in need of a good life, providing companionship for disabled adults and the elderly/hospice to live independently in their own homes. My responsibilities include giving great companionship supporting adults with physical and mental developmental/behavioral disabilities living in their own homes, seeking independence. As a personal attendant working with families/children/adults, I assist clients with shopping, housekeeping, cooking, bathing, personal care, medication, transferring, doctors' appointments, dressing, some basic financial balancing, attending social activities and outings, keeping log books up-to-date, feeding through feeding tubes and tracheotomy. I have experience with Alzheimer's, dementia and stoke patients. Most of all, making an effort to show my clients we are all human, we are all just made differently. I'm a fast learner and very attentive with or without supervision. I have great communication skills and patience which is extremely important when working with people who have disabilities. I have my own car and insurance, a valid driver's license with a clean driving record and I am CPR certified. I have a clear DOJ/Livescan and no substance abuse. I also have a clear result from TB testing. I clearly believe I am very qualified for the position, and would love to hear more about this position and possibly joining this great establishment as it would be an opportunity experience towards my home care career, as I wish to start my own company. I am available for 3 to 12-hour shifts.
