I found out early on that caring for other people was my strong suit. I nannied infants for years and then moved on to working with elderly clients. I am familiar with Alzheimer's and dementia care, as well as Parkinson's care. I currently work part time for a woman and from my position with her I have experience with incontinence care of bowel and bladder, medication administration, feedings via Gtube, breathing treatments, and asthma care. I have a passion for this field of work and enjoy working with clients and their family members. My goal is to always respect personal wishes and keep a strong communication amongst clients and family to provide the best care.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
