I'd describe my personality as fun caring kind. I like caring for seniors because I fell in to this line of work and loved it ever since. I get along with all types of personalities I had a grandmother that I cared for And think elderly people are deserving and worth time and effort. Some are more work they all deserve care. I'm looking for a job that can be once in a while or a schedule. I can work for more then one family. I started caring for seniors when I was 35. 15 years ago. At an elder care agency. I've worked at local nursing homes and private. In my spare time, I like to be around my son. One thing you should know about me is I'm very patient with elderly. I can go along with them and calm them when they need it and be talkative to them. And with them. My skills include bathing dressing toiletries cooking cleaning just being with a client talking groceries and drs. I drive if needed. and have meds experience. I like to do light physical exercise and keep energy up.

Merisssa just finished working with my husband and me for three months. My husband has been recovering from a physical challenge and required help with meal prep, putting on socks and shoes, carrying things, writing and primarily with driving him to PT. Merissa is fantastic! She is reliable, sweet, always willing to do more, and very honest. When there was downtime she ran errands and did shopping for us. In fact, now that my husband is able to drive himself, she will continue to help us with errands once a week because we feel so comfortable with her and find her very helpful. I highly recommend Merissa. We greatly benefitted from her upbeat and positive help when we needed it most!
