About Antoinette

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

My name is Antoinette and I have over 20 years of experience, most of which were as a licensed CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). I have mostly worked in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. I have almost two years of experience working in a private home setting. I currently work part time at an assisted living facility however, I prefer the familiarity of providing personalized care in a private home setting. I am interested in working full time or part time and am flexible with scheduling. My skills include: -Most ADL (activities of daily living - dressing, bathing, eating/feeding, assisted transfers) -Troubleshooting care needs and solutions -Dementia/Alzheimer's care -Managing patient hygiene -Medication administration -Meal preparation -Perineal care -Oral and dental care -Handling a bedpan -Infection control -Light cleaning of home -Procurement of toiletry and incontinence/sanitary products -Communication with families of patients

During the time Antoinette worked in my home, she was always respectful, reliable, and pleasant to be around. I trusted her completely with the care of my grandparents as well as to be around my young children in the home. Antoinette became a part of my family and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an in-home health aid and caregiver with Certified Nursing Assistance (CNA) experience. Antoinette worked for 16 months in my home caring for both my grandmother and grandfather, from January 2023 until June 2024. She provided total care (all Activities of Daily Living) for my grandmother, who suffers from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), which both physically and mentally disabled my grandmother. Antoinette provided the following care to my grandmother: -ordered and stocked supplies for grandmother’s care (incontinence products, gloves, toiletries, etc.) -got her into and out of bed -took her to the restroom and provided full toileting assistance -assisted her with eating -transferred her to chairs and couches -performed daily hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, nail, face, and hair care -dispensed medication (presorted in daily pill boxes) and Tylenol as needed for pain management -bathed her -dressed her -changed incontinence products -prepared meals -performed light household cleaning -facilitated exercise routine as directed by physical therapist -mediated conflicts between grandparents (as a result of grandfather being hard of hearing and grandmother having difficulty communicating/speaking) -soothed grandmother during dementia episodes of irritation/agitation/confusion -accompanied to medical appointments Antoinette provided medication management, meal preparation, basic hygiene assistance, and transportation for my grandfather. When my grandmother’s needs progressed beyond what could be provided in the home. Antoinette provided valuable insight as we searched for assisted living facilities and help to make the transition as smooth as possible. We could not have done it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an in-home health aid and caregiver with Certified Nursing Assistance (CNA) experience.
