About Gerald

I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant and a Certified Home Health Aide(California Dept of Public Health),with over three years experience in Hospice, Alzheimer's and Dementia Care, as well as experience in bathing, grooming and dressing, food/nutrition management, safety supervision, ambulation and transfers, medication reminders, and various activities of daily living. I was born in Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. My dad a Baptist Pastor and mom ( the woman on my profile picture)a fine Christian woman. Both parents are naturalized US Citizens. My experienced with seniors goes as far back as I can remember. As a child, I worked with my mom, whose home was a place of choice for her elderly friends and relatives. At an early age, I learned the importance of patience and empathy, as they are required in effectively supporting the unique needs of the elderly; they commonly experience disorientation and agitation. I was shaped and molded in a culture where there is immense respect for seniors. The elderly I provide services to are treated as I would treat my mom and dad, whom I so dearly loved, cherish and respect.

I have extensive experience working with elderly adults. In the 14 years I've worked as a care provider, the one gift that I receive the most is the constant gratitude of my service. Recognizing that each resident is an individual with unique needs and potentials is key to creating a good rapport. Learning about the resident helps me discover what motivates them. I'm comfortable working with other professionals as needed to assist each resident with their goals. I have a love for photography and art and I love to cook and try new recipes. Yes, a guy that likes to cook. Go figure! I have a reliable vehicle with full insurance and a clean DMV record and I'm available to work a flexible schedule. I look forward to the opportunity to provide excellent care. Thank you.

(Hourly rate is negotiable depending on level of care required) Being a caregiver for 15 years and loving this career! Ever-since being introduced to this career, I have acquired the passion and enthusiasm into taking care of, not only seniors, but people of all age groups who desperately require care and assistance and having to make them feel secure and happy in their own environment, homes and communities and making an impact in their lives so that they may get through each day with comfort and peace. I am very passionate with the work I do.
