About Merlyn

Experience: 10 yrs

I have experience taking care of patients in a hospital and home care settings. When I was in Singapore, I took care a woman who was a diabetic and quadriplegic paralyzed for about 6 years until she died. I did morning care: like giving a bath, personal hygiene, grooming, feeding and giving prescribed medicine. I assisted her by using wheelchair and took care her needs like changed pull-ups and her comfort. I worked in the hospital and clinics as a midwife when I was in the Philippines, handled different patients normal delivery and assisted in the operating room. I really feel great taking care of older people especially in times of their needs and I have passion for sharing my skills and passion and most of all caring patients like my own family.

Merlyn is dedicated and has a kind spirit. We hired her to take care of Eva, a 92 year old lady that broke her hip. The doctors only gave her a few months to live and sent her home to hospice. That was over 4 years ago. Eva lived another 4 years with Merlyn's hard work and loving dedication and almost made it to 97 years. I can't recommend Merlyn enough.
