As a young person growing up my ailing grandfather lived with us. I spent a great deal of time with him and was grateful to be able to be an integral part of his day to day to life. My passion to serve and help others was developed by my experiences with my grandfather. Those experiences also helped to determine my career path. I have worked as a direct care staff member, managed community residences for the special needs population, and eventually I became a teacher serving both mainstream students and students with special education needs. My past experience has included meal planning and preparation followed by clean-up. Assisting with household chores including making beds and changing linens, light housekeeping including dusting and vacuuming, laundry and ironing. Run errands (pickup prescriptions, dry cleaning). Providing medication reminders. Escort on appointments (hair salon, physical therapy, etc.). Escort to religious services or events. Maintaining calendar and organizing mail. Engaging in activities (games, memory books). Providing companionship.
To Whom it May Concern: I am writing on behalf of Stephanie. I have known Stephanie personally as a friend as well as a co-worker for about ten years, and have always known her to be an extremely organized, responsible, and driven individual. Stephanie is a pleasure to know because her positive attitude can make nearly any work seem fun and interesting. She usually became the leader of group projects and always handled it fairly by making sure everyone had equal amounts of work that they enjoyed. If we had someone in our group who would continuously complain, rather than getting upset, Stephanie would continue to point out the positives until the person began to enjoy themselves. In addition to being a team player, Stephanie can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible, reliable and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. She always took the initiative to make sure her work was done exceptionally well. I believe that her skills and experience would make her an excellent candidate for your organization. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, LaKiesha
