About Melva
Experience: 10 yrs
I started working as a nursing aide at Westmoreland nursing home in LakeForest in 1997. I worked for 3 years then working at Provena hospital in Waukegan at medical surgical department as a patient care technician for 8 year. After that I work as a private caregiver since then. I took care of patients who have dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease, lung cancer, diabetes and CHF. I have experience catheter and colostomy care, pleural X draining, tube feeding, giving insulin shots and transferring. Other than that, I do bed bath/shower, toileting, meal preparation, medication management/reminder, turning and changing diaper for bed bound patients and checking for vital signs. I'm new to care. com and I don't have any reviews yet but I can give you my work references.
