The experience I have with caretaking is minimal, about 5 months, but I've been a household manager for 6 years and a lot of the tasks are the same. The elderly care position i held was for that of a women with Alzheimer’s. My main expectation was to help her maintain her independence by joining her on her daily routine and keeping her on task. Im very patient and understand how to manage heightened emotions during points of mania and disoriantation to the point of fear. I do not approach alzheimers by trying to get the client to remember what's happening but just try to get the emotions to a level where everything is not so terrifying and overwhelming. My duties have included; running errands, laundry,transportation to and from activities, meal preparation and much more. I pride myself on being intuitive to peoples needs, hard working, creative and an ability to affectively communicate with people despite their circumstances. I have always had good relationships not only with my employers and their children and/ or seniors but the community that surrounds them as well. I have my own transportation, drivers license, clean driver's abstract, criminal record check and am open to obtaining anything else you may require.
