Summary

I currently care for a 91 year old woman. I prepare her meals, remind her to take medication’s, do dishes, do laundry, make bed, sweep, prepare towels, and washcloths for her shower help with dressing help pick out clothing..

I love to spend time with my client getting to know her. We talk about her past accomplishments. We love to play games, such as spelling bee, trivia, and geography. We love listening to music that she likes.

I have only worked with my client for six months, but because of the joy I have found in taking care of her I am searching for other opportunities.

I homeschooled my six children, and then I received my paraprofessional certificate. I have 16 grandchildren. I did consider going into childcare, but found such satisfaction in caring for elderly.

Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.

Hardworking employee with customer service, multitasking, and time management abilities. Devoted to giving every customer a positive and memorable experience.
