Experience: 3 yrs
Hello! My name is Sharissa , and I'm a compassionate and dedicated senior caregiver with a background as a certified medical assistant. With years of experience in caregiving, I specialize in providing warm, personalized care tailored to each individual's needs. My approach focuses on enhancing quality of life by offering dependable support with daily activities, companionship, and maintaining a safe environment. I am fluent in Spanish, so I'm able to effectively communicate with Spanish-speaking clients and their families as well. I take great pride in my role, understanding the importance of patience, empathy, and respect in creating a positive and supportive caregiving experience. I'm also comfortable assisting with housekeeping tasks and managing medications as needed. Whether it's through assistance with daily routines, providing engaging conversation, or helping with household tasks, my goal is to help seniors feel secure, valued, and comfortable in their own homes.
My father was in need of a welcome change after nearly two years with a caregiver who had “become to comfortable”. Sharissa came in to our lives and seamlessly established new routines that put my dad immediately at ease and ensured his health and wellbeing. She is efficient with her time and resourceful when it comes to preparing culturally responsive meals that met my father’s dietary needs. She is friendly, upbeat and exudes confidence in all that she does! A great communicator who is careful to ask questions and follow suggestions. Highly recommended!!
