Work History

Caregiver

Self Employed
Pasadena
07.2007 - 09.2023

I have worked in private homes caring for individuals with various needs and disabilities including Alzheimer's patients, quadriplegics and those needing assistance after surgery. Duties included but were not limited to: lifting a person from one wheelchair to another, dressing, feeding, cooking meals, paying client's bills, handling cash and credit cards, shopping, driving large handicapped vans and personal care as needed. Being good company for conversation and companionship was a big part of being a caregiver.

Yoga Instructor

Valley Hunt Club/Self Employed
Pasadena
11.2010 - Present

While working at the Valley Hunt Club, I did marketing and communications, developing articles for the newsletter which included design, composition, editing and delivery to gain clientele for Yoga classes for club members. Breathing techniques, stress reduction and providing detailed instruction on body positions that aid in strength, flexibility and balance was performed.

Responsibilities also included providing excellent member (customer) service at the front desk when needed, doing my own bulling and managing client records.

* Due to Covid 19, I continued classes on Zoom from March 2020 to the present time.
