About Rayna

I am great at what I do because it comes from the heart. I find reward in the intimacy, trust and rapport gained from a complete stranger in trusting their well being with me. The place that is sometimes to hard to open up to our loved ones because it exposes a vulnerability is shared and nurtured. I am entrusted with this responsibility and gift. I started providing one on one care in 2006 just for extra cash in the hospital where I did patient registration. My past experience in customer service allowed me to convey my inner smile while defusing and resolving issues. But being a comfort to a terminally ill or a mentally distraught person changed my life. It changed my focus and I became interested in more meaningful things. Since I started doing home care I recognized my ability to connect with diverse groups, generations and cultures. It inspired me to take a course in cultural anthropology and become an interfaith minister. I now volunteer in Hospice giving massage and Reiki and aspire to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner so I can counsel. I recently became a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Ivory B.

$25.00/hour · Stamford, NY

What makes me a great caregiver is that I pay attention to details. I do exactly what I'm told, asked and also give advice according to my expertise and I tell the truth about what is needed when it matters. I first started working with elders within my monastery taking care of their basic needs and taking them back and forth to doctor's appointments and following their doctors care of plan. That transmitted to my professional work life as a certified nursing aide, as I work in the nursing homes and also in private home settings. It brings me joy to see those who are in need of help receive the assistance that they need without taking away their dignity and also giving them the extra help that's necessary.... at the same time allowing them to do what they can for themselves. I have a broad range going from helping those with terminal illnesses all the way to those who just need extra assistance around the house. There is no job too big or too small for me to do.

I have worked in places from the ER, to the hospitals, nursing homes and in people's homes. I believe your loved one has the right to live the best life they can even when they are not feeling their best, battling a sickness or are elderly. It's not my job to be their boss as I work for them. I enjoy seeing them still do whatever they can to live the best life they can. I love helping people it gives me a sense of joy and warms my soul. It makes me a better person, it has taught me patience and to enjoy every moment of everyday even when it's not the greatest of days. I am proud of the mom I am. My children have the same compassionate spirit as me and enjoy helping people. I truly love what I do and the community of people that I have the pleasure to share my time with.
