About Clarissa

Hi my name is clarissa Adams I'm a single mother of one and been caregiving for 10 years now. I chose this career because enjoy creating bonds with clients and their family and this is also a job that has to be done. I used to work in a nursing home and did not like the way the clients were being treated and I felt like no matter how much I report anything even though I will if I see something wrong its up to the caregivers to make sure that they show compassion and be considerate of the clients and do their job properly. I understand that sometimes the family just cant be there for their loved one and it completely doesn't mean they don't love them that's where I come in I have no issue with working over I'm very reliable I often sacrifice my holidays for clients but I consider them family as well. Most of all I would love to get to know you the caretakers of my future clients. I'm very polite and have plenty of experience in hospice care and basic needs care. I would love for you to get to know me better in person if you choose me. Thank you for taking the time to consider me God Bless.

Hello Im updating my profile as I have been away from Homecare and caregiving for a few years. Due to lack of having any home care clients I took a retail job, that helped paid the bills, well after eight years that job is no more and decided to move in a different direction. So why would I make a good caregiver 1. I have patience, Im kind, caring, reliable and understanding. I enjoy making a difference at the end of the day 2. I can do basic housekeeping, be a companion, and help the person feel at ease. Im a good listener who is willing to talk if they wish. 3. I don't want to get too personal here, but I helped take care of my dad when he was battling Parkinsons disease as I sat with him, got him meals, something to drink or helped get dressed or just sat by his bedside watching TV and talking when he was in hospice. He has since passed away.... 4.I worked as an Activity Assistant in a skilled nursing home and felt such a joy making residents smile whether making popcorn, putting in a movie, or calling bingo. That was one of the best jobs I ever had. 5. I grew up volunteering in a nursing home from my teenage years all through high school and loved every minute of it 6. Now Im in my late 50s and this is what Im passionate about so please consider me as I need income as I live alone. I've also been a DORS PA since 2012 and have remained on their list since then 7. Im most proud of that Ive remained the kind, caring, compassionate person that I remain to this day. I don't know if I can pick a personal achievement, that Im most proud of, but I was lucky to spend time with my dad when he declined. I miss just holding his hand and talking to him even though he slept most of the time. I want to honor his memory by making a difference in the lives of others. So if you are interested please contact me. Due to lack of the Homecare clients Im looking for in this area Im willing to relocate. I prefer non smokers and can work around cats, but no dogs.
