About Zoraida

Like most middle aged adults, I became a caregiver for my own parents as they aged and needed more assistance. My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and lived for ten years after that, requiring assistance with everything from managing his finances to bathing and dressing. My mother has diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia and othere illnesses that required vigilance and special care. There is nothing like hands on experience to make you realize the need and opportunity to assist in this field. Soy bilingue asi que puedo hablar Espanol e Ingles, leer y escribirlo. Tengo un gran conocimiento de las culturas Hispanas, comidas, musica, modales. Como no tengo licencia de CNA, no puedo administrar medicamentos, pero puedo observer si lo toman. Since I am not a licensed CNA, I cannot administer medications, but I can observe someone taking them.

Enrichment Coordinator

Apr 2014 - Nov 2014
Holiday Retirement
Make the residents happy. Simple phrase but challenging as well. Many of our residents have low vision, hearing impairments, mobility challenges and advanced age. The median age of residents is 85, making all activities a real challenge to plan and execute, but I have managed to do just that. Not only have I increased participation in familiar activities, I have introduced and implemented new activities to challenge, inspire and provide a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in our residents. They like and respect me for that, and that in itself is a tremendous reward!

$20.00/hour · Tampa, FL
I've always enjoyed caregiving - for my younger siblings, my own children, and working with the disabled. I began caring for seniors with my elderly mother-in-law and it was deeply satisfying. I am a certified Home Health Aide, an independent caregiver experienced in all ADLs, medications, transfer needs and dementia. I enjoy the broad range of activities - meal prep, transportation, personal care, medical needs, and one-on-one care allows for a greater level of care, understanding and empathy. Dependable and caring with excellent client references "head and shoulder above other caregivers", "a godsend". Have recent drug test, background check.
