About Akaysha

Experience: 5 yrs

I'd describe my personality as gentle, compassionate, and focused. I like caring for seniors because I can be that support and backbone when they feel alone. If they are slacking on a sense, I have mine and can use mine for them. I know that I will give them the best care. I'm looking for a job that is consistent, understanding, and has great communication. I started caring for seniors when I cared for a loved one. He was 500lbs. He had health issues. I helped with meals, toileting, and bathing or dressing. I took away some of that depression, hurt, and pain. He started to smile again. I helped him get his groove back. He became happy once again. The little things matter and can make a difference. In my spare time, I like to listen to relaxing music. I also love to learn new things. I love taking walks and enjoying the fresh air. One thing you should know about me is I love to help. I am also the oldest child. My skills include patience, time management, and communication.
