This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 4 yrs
I am a compassionate and reliable 55-year-old who has had experience with a 106-year-old Shanghainese woman for 4+years working with IHSS. She had dementia and food aspiration. I provided meals, feeding, medications, cleaning, wound care, stretching exercises, and a strong sense of empathy. I am also fairly strong to lift her up. I have had training on lifting her properly, and 2 times daily nebulizer/O2 machines. I also learned basic Shanghainese and converted Newspapers from English to Chinese to make her time enjoyable at home. I was always there for her medical appointments. On a personal level, I am an avid cook, and I love sports, and I am extremely patient. I used to be a software developer and have realized how meaningful and fulfilling working as a caregiver can be.
We feel very fortunate to have Phil as a caregiver for my elderly mother who has dementia and mobility issues. With his compassion and patient manner, Phil puts his heart out when taking care of my mother's needs and we appreciate him very much.
