About kendall

Hey! My name is Kendall and I've been working with the elderly coming up on 3 years now. I'm 20 years old and am in college working towards my OTA. I didn't go looking for a caregiver job, but it found me. Once I worked with my first patient I was hooked! I am naturally a care taker and empathetic person. Helping those who cannot help themselves is something I pride myself in a lot. This line of work is far from easy and requires patience, but I have found working with my patients has become natural to me. I have worked with 3 different people so far, all with different needs and routines. I am familiar with working with Dementia/Alzheimer's patients and have a few months of hospice caregiving under my belt. I can't wait to meet you, thanks for visiting my profile!

Private Home Caregiver

I have been working here in my bosses house helping her care for her mother with Dementia. I've been here a little over a year. This is my third patient I have worked with. My role as a caregiver is to help her with daily tasks, bathroom duties, meal prep+ eating, turning every few hours, companionship, essentially everything she needs in her daily routine

Private Home Caregiver

This was my third caregiving job I had for a short period of time. My boss needed extra support with their mother with Alzheimer's. This job was more for companionship, however I did help her use the bathroom and do some of her physical therapy. I only got to see her a short period of time until she got very ill and needed more support than what I could offer.

Private Home Caregiver

This was my very first caregiver job! I helped my boss with her elderly mother about 3-4 times out of the week for about a year and half. Her mother did not have any cognitive decline, but did require help using the restroom, bathing, meal prep+eating, getting in out of furniture, essentially her entire routine. The reason I do not see her anymore is because when the pandemic hit her daughter didn't want anyone coming to the house anymore due to her moms fragile state.
