5 years ago, after being laid off in the casinos and helping to raise my beautiful granddaughter, I started a new chapter in my life, I had no idea God would lead me into so many amazing lives. A brief description of my skills: I have spent the last 5 and half years taking care of others loved ones. Most of that time has entailed 24/7 live-in. My experiences range from 2 years for a lovely stroke victim who was confined to a wheelchair and had 4 dogs; 1 year to a beautiful 94-year-old who had extreme dementia, heart problems, and had broken her neck in 3 different areas. A 95-year-old with severe COPD, on oxygen, and legally blind. Another beautiful soul who had cancer, diabetes and succumbed to pneumonia. Another patient who was severely burned, another spectacular lady who was 96 with severe dementia/Alzheimer's and very stubborn. Another who was at the very end of life and the family just needed that one on one care. I also worked with another just making sure he ate and had company in the evening. I try to engage my patients with activities, movies, puzzles, the internet (card games) books, drawing/painting (which some really love) or just going out to dinner, a lovely walk in the morning or evening going to the mall or a splendid walk along the ocean (one of my patients absolutely loved Disneyland). I've always communicated well with the families and have many references. I would be interested in working full-time, part-time or just on call. My lovely lady passed on August 6th, and I took some time off for myself which included travel, I'm now fully refreshed and ready to help another family with their loved one. Thank you for your time and best wishes on finding that special person.
