This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 9 yrs
I am extensively experienced in the care of and assistance with seniors, as I cared for and assisted with my grandmother for about 9 years through calm waters and violent illnesses, sometimes just ensuring her comfort and sustenance when nothing else could be done. She past away at 95 in February of this year of old age. Due to my experience with her, I have a profound empathy for not only the feelings and circumstances of the elderly, as I was so invested in and connected to my grandmother, but also for the family. I witnessed and experienced firsthand the difficulties: the physical and emotional toll it takes on the caregiver, and the constant wariness and concern on the family. My grandmother was a major part of my life and her passing, though right for her, hit me and my family very deeply and very hard. I understand exactly the preciousness of time left an elderly person has, the precariousness of their position, and precisely what is needed to care for them and how it must be done. I saw the benefit of kind, competent caretakers, and felt the consequences of the careless and dispassionate. I know what I wanted for my grandmother, and that is exactly what I will give.
