Experience: 8 yrs
For the last 8 years, I worked for a 91-year-old Alzheimer's and dementia lady. Last week, she passed away. Now I'm looking for a new caregiver position.
Laxi came to us in May of 2006 to take care of my mother who succumbed to Dementia/Alzheimer's disease. When Laxi came my mother was at the onset of the disease and Laxi quickly made a special bond with my mother. From that point Laxi took care of mother's needs until my mother passed away in February 2014. So, Laxi was with us over 8 years. Laxi is very trustworthy and we have given total responsibilities of our home and mother to her while we vacationed out of the country over many months. She pays attention to detail and ensured my mother's needs fully fulfilled. When my mother could walk she took her for walks. When my mom became feeble and immobile Laxi is the one who did all the lifting and placing her on the wheel chair, on the bed and everything. Laxi attended to all my mother's needs including preparing her meals, feeding, bathing, hair care, skin care, pedicure, manicure, lifting, turning, changing diapers, giving medicine, monitoring blood glucose and blood pleasure. Took her to regular doctor s appointments. In her later stage I fed her through the nasal tube and closely monitored her blood glucose levels. Laxi has a very outgoing personality with an infectious smile on her face and she is very flexible and adaptable to any situation and environment. She is a person with common sense to deal with stressful situations. She is always calm and has patience to meet the needs of other people. I enthusiastically recommend Laxi as an experienced care giver to anyone.
