This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 10 yrs
The drop down on "Years Of Paid Experience" will only allow me to put 10+ years when actually; I have spent over 25 years of my life caring for seniors and a total of 30 years as a caregiver. I am a certified CNA. My experience includes (but not limited to) hospice care, giving insulin to my patients, I've cared for burn victims, patients with dementia & Alzheimer's. I have taken care of patients with cellulitis, edema, urinary track infections & can detect it ahead of time, I can do CPR. I've cared for patients who've had a stroke& patients who've had heart attacks. I can take my patients to the doctor and shopping for their grocery needs. I love and care for my patients as if they were my own parents. I am happy to make them safe and content emotionally and physically, giving their family peace of mind knowing that they're in good hands. I strongly would prefer not to drive my patients/clients.
Arlene is a very experienced caregiver. Her CNA credentials are obvious in her caregiving. She cared for my husband in the home for 8 months before he went into assisted living. She is perceptive, attentive, knowledgeable and very detail oriented and conscientious about safety. She communicated issues in a timely manner and was responsive to suggestions. She is friendly and a good listener. She is professional, always early to her shifts, and considerate. She is willing to do anything for her clients and picked up extra shifts for me whenever she could. We were very blessed to have her help us in our home. She took very good care of my husband and I could trust her with him so I could get some time away while she was here.
