Profile

I have been a professional caregiver for 8 years. I handle all types of people with various backgrounds from military to business, to academic, to professional. I also took care of my own parents as many caregivers have before joining a company or working privately. I have experience with Alzheimer's/Dementia, catheters to feeding tubes. I'm a good companion also. I'm gentle, kind, thoughtful and considerate, but can be more firm when the situation calls for it. I know I'm good. I have seen lots of caregivers come and go over the years. I presently work for a caregiving company but with the new federal rules limiting hours to 40 unless overtime is paid, I need to make up for lost hours and income. References available upon request.
