This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 4 yrs
I am a senior caregiver who has been caring for an elderly gentleman with Alzheimer's for the past 3 years, at first in his home, and then when he transferred to a nursing home. I am seeking additional opportunities to work with families and assist them in the care of their loved ones. I also had spent many hours volunteering at a local nursing home for about 2 years and it helped me find my passion. I truly loved working with the residents. We chat, read, played games, and reminisced. I also assisted staff taking residents on outings. I've also done volunteer work with an assisted living facility doing activities with residents who have dementia, including leading them in exercise classes. I also have experience as a family caregiver, caring for my own grandmother for the past several years. Our older generation deserves our time, attention, and love. I grew up and was raised by an older generation of family. This is more than a job to me, this is my passion.

We hired Brenda over 3 years ago to help out with our father with Alzheimer's. She was amazing in every way. Our mom needed help at various times during the week and Brenda was flexible for her. Brenda show true compassion and caring for our father. It meant so much to us and we all fell very fortunate that she came along when she did. There is much more I can say about Brenda and how much she did how dad. Playing cards with him, taking him to D&D's, going over family photo albums, talking to him, etc....We give Brenda our highest recommendation as a caregiver and truly made a difference in my dad's life these last few years.
