Hello! I am an attentive, compassionate Certified Nursing Assistant with over 7 years of experience working in skilled nursing, hospice, hospital and home health care settings. I am a non smoker, have reliable transportation, pet friendly, and BLS/CPR certified. Some of the services I offer include assisting with personal care needs such as bathing, dressing and toileting, meal planning and preparation, shopping/running errands, and various housekeeping duties. I am also trained to safely use mechanical lifts and various assistive devices as well as assisting with physical therapy and exercise, catheter and colostomy care, and medication administration. I also have extensive training and experience with Alzheimer's/Dementia. I am located in Oakland, CA and I am willing to travel up to 30 miles. Thank you so much for your time! :)

Rene took care of my mother for 7 months in the hardest part of my mother's life, and made things so much better for all of us. Mom had Alzheimer's, diabetes, and a lot of other issues, and Rene did whatever was needed and whatever was asked of her, including: diabetes/blood sugar management, medication management, trips to the grocery store, taking mom to doctor's appointments, communicating with me about what was going on (I live across the country from my parents). Rene hung in there until the end even as things got very difficult, as my mom had toileting issues and other advanced Alzhiemer's challenges. My Dad has no diagnosed health issues but is very forgetful and lonely and Rene kept him company and helped him get through the days with less frustration. Rene is kind, experienced, flexible and calm. I highly recommend her and appreciate her work enormously. My Dad said "give her an A+"!
