About Irina
Experience: 10 yrs
I have been working as a private CNA for over 10 years, and have a lot of experience working with clients with dementia and MS. My responsibility was to provide a holistic approach to the needs and care of the elderly in their homes, nursing facilities, and assisted living communities. I was providing safety, mobility, comfort and nutritional needs as well as preventive, supportive and therapeutic care, and encouraging self-care for basic skills of daily living. My responsibilities also included medical management i. e.: doctors appointments, dispensing prescribed drugs in a timely manner as indicated, communicating with medical staff and family. Providing reports to the patient's family on daily/weekly bases. My schedule is somewhat flexible and can be altered to support my client's needs. The amount I charge depends on each individual case. The base pay starts at $25. 00 an hour.

My family hired Irina to help with companion care for my mother with Alzheimer's disease. The goal of this was to help get my mother out of the house and regain some of the freedom the disease had taken away. Irina was amazing and patient with my mother. Irina took her on to get lunch, walks, shopping, and became a close friend to us all. Irina attended family functions as one of our close friends. We grew close quickly. She is a very kind person and excellent listener. She was very knowledgeable with patients having memory care issues. She helped my mother also do some of the things she loved around the house such as baking. Irina was exactly what my mother needed....she has a great personality which is funny, witty, and also caring and kind. My family highly recommends Irina and cannot thank her enough for the kindness she showed my mother during a very difficult time.
