About James

I am in my late fifties and am an Army Veteran . It makes me reliable. I enjoy the the flexibility in scheduling as a Professional Caregiver. I am also the Dad of a teenage daughter, I am quite proud of that. I have experience caring for a close family member with Alzheimer's and Dementia. My skills set include changing incontinence undergarments, assisting the Care Recipient with getting dressed, grooming and body cleaning. Lifting the Care Recipient out of bed without a Hoyer Lift and placing into a wheelchair. Feeding the Care Recipient, assisting the Care Recipient with walking with the aid of a walker and safety belt. Playing assorted games with Care Recipient to keep them engaged. I am also an experienced Cook and Housekeeper. At this time I am only taking on new Care Recipients from the East Bay.

I'm good at what I do. I'm very reliable and I work hard. I started being a care provider from my moms friend and I enjoyed helping her until she passed away. I enjoy helping people that need my help that can't do things for they self. My personal achievement would be that I'm a hard working man I'm able to get up and go to work everyday without regard.

Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I'm a 44 year old single woman with a 15 year old daughter and 4 month old husky son. I've been a licensed phlebotomist for 16 years and have always worked in healthcare. My mother was in a wheelchair and completely dependent on me for her every day basic needs and it gave me a great appreciation for the dignity of other humans who need extra help. I also moved my 88 year old grandpa with severe dementia and stroke history into my home. He was always completely dependent on me. It was the most humbling experience and I learned so much about health and human needs. I am very loving and compassionate and I really miss my mother and grandpa. If I could help another family with their loved one, I would be completely dedicated to their total well being. I love animals, I love people, I grew up in the Sacramento delta and in the last couple years moved to the Bay Area.
