Single male, 53 years old. I am the kind of man that kids and animals love. In the Air Force for 10 years. Been in the care-giving business since 1993. Ran a DHS Licensed facility for handicapped males for 12 years then worked on my own for a while. Currently working for Visiting Nurse / Hospice Care, have done over 40 hospices to the end. Not much that can happen will surprise me. Currently looking to pick up some hours as a Private Duty Caregiver. Registered with the State of California Caregiver registry and passed their background check. I am an exceptionally good caregiver. Kind and gentle and knowledgeable about most common issues. I can bathe, manage diets, manage meds, cook, clean. Know how to prevent bedsores and have done a lot of wound care. I have had training in speech therapy, physical therapy, range of motion exercises, stroke recovery, surgery recovery and 1 coma client and can follow discharge care plans. I have worked with many mentally impaired and dementia clients. Good sense of humor, on the quiet side but can chat about most things. Love music and singing. Try to keep things fun and happy by joking around and reminiscing. I am good with males but great with females. Most love being sung to and cooked for and enjoy a little pampering.
