Experience: 6 yrs

I have tremendous knowledge/experience interacting with the elderly population. I worked as a senior care provider for 6 years now. I worked with patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, ALS, Parkinson's disease, Spinal cord injury, Schizophrenia, and Bipolar disorder. I assisted and enabled them to complete their ADLs such as bathing, feeding, dressing, toileting, and grooming despite their physical or mental disability. I also assisted them with medication management and completing their exercise regimen. I worked in a rehab center for 6 months as an occupational therapy (OT) student by performing evaluation and implementing individualized treatment plan for a variety of patients. My exposure to occupational therapy helped me understand numerous conditions and accordingly address each client's needs. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Edom

We hired Edom while we were visiting DC for the holidays - she was a great companion to my mother and kept a watchful eye on her and helped orient her in unfamiliar surroundings. Edom was also lovely with the kids, my dog and rest of the family, and she is very responsible, communicative and punctual.
