Citrus Heights Senior Care

I have always enjoyed making a difference in peoples' lives. It fills me far more than corporate work, which I have also done. I have cared for seniors with Alzheimer's and adults with developmental disabilities. I have also cared for elderly people with and without medical conditions. I am patient and quiet, intuitive and observant. When getting to know someone, especially someone I am responsible for taking care of, I listen more than I talk to establish the exact nature of the needs of a person. I am a mom and Nana as well as a huge animal lover. I have reliable transportation and take my work seriously. Maybe we can become acquainted and meet each others' needs? I would like to add that I have cared for other people aside from those on Care. com. So altogether 9.

I've always been passionate about helping people in need. When my good friend asked me to help with her elderly mom, I said I'd give it a try. I could see she really needed a break. For a year her mom and I spent time together talking and laughing. My services included dispensing medication, light meals, with dishes, changing bed, light housecleaning and addressing and mailing letters. Helping her to read small print. *Also provided companionship for a lovely lady in her 90's. Medication, light lunch, lunch dishes, going through her albums and the daily news, talking about things we both like, etc. Basically becoming friends enjoying each other's company. Sorry no personal needs such as feeding, dressing, bathing and lifting. Thank you for your consideration.

I began my experience caring for my father who was in dementia/Alzheimer's, typical personal grooming and daily exercise, reading and supervision of medicines. As time moved on, I assisted a retired Doctor with his housecleaning chores. Usually, I would tend to his home adding a sparkling touch of not only cleanliness and shine but much needed organization. Chores involved were stripping his bed, laundering his bed sheets, blankets and clothing, making the bed, vacuum cleaning his bedroom and dusting. Cleaning would include the tub, toilet, basin, shower, and bathroom floors. No, I did not forget the mirrors, also vacuum cleaning, sweeping and dusting the other floors and areas in the house, removal of trash and freshen receptacles, clean dishes and/or check dishwasher to put away dishes. His personal friends needed someone to clean their home on a part-time basis. I took the part-time work and ended up becoming a live in personal care attendant. I have supervised medicines, menu planned and prepared meals to include a special salt free diet. I do all the shopping and put away. I have maintained the vehicle by taking it in for checkups and lube jobs. I do all housework as previously described. I have read to my clients, driven to doctor/dental appointments, or hair, nail and podiatry appointments. I have hospice experience and registry work also. I have volunteered for a care center. I have current TB/shots and DOJ background check through Eskaton from volunteering. I have three other clients of which I have worked for doing miscellaneous cleaning and errands. One client is now deceased and she was an antique dealer. I have been a mother to three growing children who now have children of their own. I have 20 plus years of volunteer work with the Girl Scouts of America serving in a leadership capacity in one form or another to include supervision of adults. I was a senior coordinator for a volunteer program in Orange County, California. I was proactive in working with seniors at a health center and various volunteer venues. I enjoy pets if they are friendly and have a cat of my own whom I inherited from my daughter. He is a senior cat by the way and I am very patient with his moods and needs. I drive an insured truck and have therefore room for equipment which may need to be transported. I am familiar with most senior in home helpful aids such as toilet risers, walkers of all kinds, bed bars, shower seats, etc. 6 years current experience. Several licenses.

For the last 20+ years I have worked with several different families including senior, child and animal care. I have a degree in early childhood development and was a preschool teacher for 8+ years. I have 3 grown children who are now adults and have families of their own! I have a passion for in- home care giving and see the importance in incorporating my massage therapy experience by offering Acupressure, Reflexology and other healing modalities to my senior clients. It has been a blessing to care for over 10 senior clients and truly become a part of the family, providing them with care and companionship in their last precious years with us. I recently completed an advanced course and received a certification to implement Massage Therapy techniques to relax and uplift Hospice patients in a time of need. Looking for a long term, part to full-time in home care giving position. Open to child and pet care as well.

I am a compassionate and caring professional with experience working with dementia and general senior care needs. I have worked privately as well as for agencies. I do most types of care in the home. I can do some over nights as well. I especially enjoy talking to my clients about their past and try to implement activities we can enjoy together. I like to make people smile and laugh!

I enjoy cooking healthy and providing education when ask. I am a happy upbeat person and enjoy assisting others.

Well I have been taking care of elderly for 8 years probably even longer if you count me helping with my parents before they passed away. I have done live in care, and overnight care also daytime care as well. Have work with families with mobility issues as well as health issues and all or most had some level of dementia. I have a lot of patience and understanding working with elderly, I have also done companion care as well. I think I have always been a care giver most of my life, after helping foster care for over 16 years working with special need children gave me a lot to go on and to work with the elderly.

I was a Registered Nurse by Profession for 15+ years overseas. Moved to the US and had been doing Caregiving job for 5years now.. which is still part of Nursing but the setting is a little different.. instead of a Hospital based it is now a 1:1 basis at home. My main objective is to develop Trust between me & my client and always treat them with Patience & Respect. Most cases that I had looked after in the past are Alzheimer's, Dementia, Old age that requires my companionship, Post Operative cases etc. I also do Light housekeeping duties, Prepare Medications, Cook meals & Run errands when needed

I like working with the elderly because I like helping them, what I like most about working with elderly is making them smile and letting them talk about what they have enjoyed in their lives and trying too make their days happy, enjoyable. I also like working with them because they are always willing to talk with you about things in their life that made them the happiest and how they use to do things compared to the things they are now doing, and helping them make the most of their life that is left on earth be exciting, happy and the best it can be.
