Hello. (I am just starting out with Carelinx )I have been a caregiver pretty much my whole life. My first child was born with a host of health issues as well as ASD and extreme ADHD. Professionally I've been doing it for about 5 years. I started taking care of my father as he aged and provided his hospice care. Then I did it professionally after his death for a friend who hired me because I know how to navigate the va health system. I then started it professionally after relocating to MO. I enjoy taking care of people and am incredibly honest, compassionate, and dedicated to my clients. I do in fact believe that the first part of being a in home health care giver is to actually care. I've included a small list from my resume of skills I have utilized as a PCA. My empathy and understanding of all sides helps me to connect with my clients.
