My name is Deandria K. and I am a graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign with my BFA in acting. I am currently living in Chicago along with my parents and my dog Baby (who I named after the movie Dirty Dancing). I work as a part time Server at Cracker Barrel in Tinley Park. I am 23 years old and my entire life I have always loved children. I love to enjoy life and take time out to just laugh and be silly. Even when I was younger I would call everyone "Baby" and attempt to take care of them. Some of my most rewarding experiences have been based around learning from and working with children. I am a very energetic and self driven woman who is extremely passionate about acting (Theatre in general) and youth. I have extensive experience working with children, both volunteer and as a job. I am currently cast in a show called Gunpowder where we aim to raise awareness of the seriousness of violence. We hope inspire the youth to rise above negativity and urge people to develop a greater sense of community. This shows really represents many of my personal goals and passions. I work to always serve as a positive role model and helping hand to the youth. I was blessed to have wonderful people help shape me into who I am and I feel it is only necessary to continue to pay that love and compassion forward.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 2 references I have had some volunteer experience in this area I have helped take care of family members a number of times      Skills:    Bathing Assistance      Bed Bath      Dressing Grooming assistance      Patient Positioning      Range of Motion Exercise      Toileting Assistance     Experience and skills with following Diagnosis :    Arthritis      Bedridden      Dementia      Diabetes      Fractured Hip      Hearing Impairment      Hospice      Stroke      Visual Impairment   Education/Training: Caregiver / Companion, College, Bachelor's Degree  University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL ###-###-#### BFA Acting Member of Phi Eta Sigma       Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion or Personal Support Worker  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed      Occasional/As Needed   Prefer to work in:    Home Health Care     Desired Start Date: December 30, 1899  Desired Salary: $11/Hour or Negotiable salary  Willing to travel : Yes  Duties:    Housekeeping      Laundry      Grocery Shopping      Meal Planning / Preparation      Supervise Home      Errands      Assist with Pet Care      Assist with Walking      Vacuuming      Hand Wash Dishes      Escort to Appointments      Plan Visits, Outings, & Trips to Visit Neighbours, Friends, Family      Alzheimer/Dementia Care      Lifts and Transfers         References   Jerlene Sims  Former employer St. Paul YES Program Chaney Ford Child Care Center Known for about 15yrs Worked for about 5yrs Left job for school      Pam Williams  Volunteer Supervisor at Vineyard Church Nursery Worked for about a year until graduation
