Experience: 10 yrs
My name is Matthew and I've been a Caregiver here in Portland, Oregon, for almost 10 years. I've worked mainly with the organization United Cerebral Palsy and many of their clients, but I've also been working with Samaritan Care Partners, as well as the State of Oregon's Department of Social Services. I've got much experience in caring for all sorts of people with all kinds of needs. Matthew I'd describe my personality as knowledgeable, caring, and energetic. I like caring for seniors because I am familiar with their needs and their cultural background. I'm looking for a job that helps people and makes their lives better. I started caring for seniors when I began working for United Cerebral Palsy several years ago. In my spare time, I like to make radio shows of music. One thing you should know about me is I'm physically capable in doing difficult tasks. My skills include precise medication administration, making satisfying meals, and cleaning care.
Matthew is a caregiver, not a caretaker. And, for that we always were very grateful during the 7 years that he worked 40+ hours/week with my disabled son. He was attentive, interactive, patient, kind and cheerful throughout their hours together. Matthew consistently did an excellent, detailed job with hygiene and grooming, as well nutrition and hydration needs. He took an active interest in the physical therapy regimen, and was particular about required record keeping and daily verbal reporting of any observations or issues that arose during his shift. Beyond these critical basics, he provided wonderful companionship and facilitated thoughtfully planned activities for them to enjoy together.
