This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 10 yrs
I am a caregiver with a combined 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families facing a wide range of care needs. My background includes providing compassionate assistance to those with physical and intellectual disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, mental illness, cancer, and stroke-related conditions. I am committed to offering patients dignity, patience, comfort, and dependable companionship while giving families confidence that their loved ones are receiving attentive care. I have worked for home health aide facilities providing in home care and I was recently caring for a 79-year-old who was bedbound and had mild dementia, an 84-year-old with moderate dementia, and a gentleman with hemiplegia. I have a degree in fine arts and psychology. I can give more details of my recent job duties to help better understand my experience. Outside of caregiving I work out, spend time with my dog, read, and make art.
We can’t recommend Theresa enough as a competent and excellent caregiver! Over the course of the last 10+ months she has been a constant and dependable help to us in caregiving for my mom who is under hospice care at home. Mom is bed-bound and suffers from several health issues including diabetes, neuropathy, lymphedema, chronic pain, unexplained bleeding, and more. Theresa has truly been a God-send and become family to us! Without her diligent and expert care, we could not have kept our mom home. She has come in the middle of night, stayed overnight when we had to be out of town, given meds, washed hair, bathed, changed, painted nails, organized, cheered and encouraged Mom without hesitation and even when she wasn’t feeling her best. She has always shown respect and courtesy and genuine care for Mom and our family and that has meant a great deal to us. She has earned our complete trust and confidence and I know she would give your loved one the same excellent care. If you have any questions or concerns, we’re glad to answer those as well. Thank you!
