About Gina

Good day, and thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I have been in the medical field for over 25 years, and have always had a affinity for the geriatric population, and have over ten years working with Dementia, Alzheimer's a variety of ages, yet primarily late 80's or 90's. I am A CNA, and a CMA, with nurse delegation, Alzheimer's, Dementia and Mental health certification as well First Aide and CPR. English is my first language which I find very important when the client's first language is as well, so that we can clearly communicate, have the know how and skill not only to cook and bake, yet to know the client's culture and preferences and connect. Additionally if there are any pets, I am extremely pet friendly and feel they are part of the family. I am a self starter and work well independently, and as well with household, management, meal planning, prep, medication administration (multiple filling mediset's) . Keeping the home clean and tidy, while always keeping in mind my client's preference, privacy and to keep a flow and routine. I am skilled in a variety of mental health condition's while never being demanding, impatient, or inconsiderate of my client. I am only looking for P/T Work. Tuesdays and or Sat and Sunday hours live out and day shift only. Must be drug free and N/S and I am very pet friendly.

I am a people person and love taking care of people. At the end of the day, it makes me feel good to know I helped someone else. I tend to go above and beyond for others, it comes natural for me. Going through the training to become certified has been a personal achievement, I was nervous at first, thought it would take forever. When I finished the training and became certified I felt great, because I could continue taking care of others. I am Covid-19 vaccinated.

$22.00/hour · Sumner, WA
While I was raising my family (1993), my grandmother asked to move in with us. That ended up being the beginning of a 14 year career as a caregiver. I learned problem solving techniques, and used those techniques to provide the best environment possible. When my grandmother passed on, my grandfather needed assistance (stroke). I was a strong advocate for him and gave him a better quality of life. Now my children are grown. I recently finished a caregiving job for a gentleman who was cancer stricken. Sadly he did not survive. I provided end of life care for him, and support for his wife. We still keep in touch. At this time I am busy from mo-fri 8AM until noon here in Lake Tapps. This schedule is permanent until further notice. I am only available for Auburn, Sumner, Lake Tapps, and Puyallup areas, and must be at least 4 hours per day.
