Being a lifelong volunteer, I am currently looking to devote myself to caring for persons in need in a professional capacity using my volunteer and professional experience and expertise. My role in caring for others includes: I was a certified hospice volunteer for seven years with the Religious Sisters of Charity of the Roman Catholic Church and other Not-For-Profit hospices and the care of family members who were wheelchair-bound and an Alzheimer patient. Hospice responsibilities included; companionship, emotional support for patients and their families, transportation to and from medical appointments, the physical care of non-ambulatory patients, organizing family events, and ensuring medications were taken properly, routine household chores - including light cleaning and cooking, etc. I have held certifications in; First Aid, CPR, defibrillation, certification in caring for persons with blood-borne pathogens, firefighting, slip trips and fall prevention, HAZMAT, etc. I was the caretaker for both my mother and father in their later years. My mother was confined to a bed and wheelchair following a stroke until her death. My father suffered from dementia until he passed away. My duties included emotional support, the running of the household, supervising household repairs, cooking, transportation of wheelchair-bound persons, scheduling of medical and other appointments. The coordination and oversight of medical care with health care providers for both parents and other similar duties were assumed by me as my parents' health declined. Thank you in advance for your considering me as a caregiver with Care Linx
