About Carissa

I'm a 28 year old mother and I've been a CNA since 2016. And ever since I was 15 I have loved healthcare and biology. My grandpa was diagnosed with dementia and passed away. I, myself, have faced quite a few medical battles young and have since been dedicated to helping other people. I'm very patient and observant when it comes to my patients and therefore I'm very compassionate about their physical and mental wellbeing. It's not just a job to me. I love helping, always have, and I couldn't think of a better way to use my passion and skill than to help people stay in their home despite needing a little extra care.

I traveled to several long term care homes in Iowa to set up mental health appointments with therapists and psychiatrists via ipads. I had to be very dependable and communicate well and accurately.

Lori B.

$20.00/hour · Cedar Falls, IA

Hello there! My name is Lori, and I recently retired from teaching and became a part-time, remote proofreader for a publishing company. Since there was still plenty of time during the day to take on a second job, I decided I'd also like to be a caregiver. I helped take care of my father, who had Parkinson's for almost 20 years before passing away. My mother started showing signs of dementia shortly after his passing. I helped take care of her until she moved to Des Moines where she now gets full-time care. I enjoy seeing Mom on the weekends but also like visiting and helping her neighbors in memory care. They are appreciative and always happy to have a visitor, which in turn makes me happy! They helped me discover that I was missing something in my retired life: directly helping people who truly need it. I'm dependable, honest, and a hard worker with an outgoing personality. I hope you let me help you out - and bet we'll have a little fun in the meantime!
