I am deeply religious, and always try to find good in people. I have been a single parent for 31 years but have devoted this time to working to raise my only child and help my siblings send their kids to school. Since then I was so involved in the family, from raising the kids to taking care of our elders. I came to the US thru the petition on my daughter who is married. As I want to be self reliant, I need to earn money working on a job I know I can perfectly do and familiar with, - baby sitting and caring for the elderly.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: Tagalog, English    My Nationality: Filipino  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Separated  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Roman Catholic        Work Experience & Education Background   0 years experience, 0 references It is important to be able to communicate to the elderly. Unlike children, the elderly have routines they do while still able so it is important for me to know this so I will be able to do this the way the elderly wants. As a caregiver I need to be sensitive to the elderly feelings, much as I will be incharge of keeping the elderly fed, bathed and groomed. I also believe that a care giver is patient to cater to the elderly calls an request and must have a good listening heart to make the elderly feel somebody is willing to hear old stories being retold and retold.       Skills:    Bathing Assistance      Bed Pan      Dressing Grooming assistance      Patient Positioning      Range of Motion Exercise      Toileting Assistance     Experience and skills with following Diagnosis : None Provided Education/Training: Master's Degree  Civil Engineer, with a masters in management engineering      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    1 - 2 years   Prefer to work in:    Home Health Care     Desired Start Date: June 10, 2013  Desired Salary: $15/Hour  Willing to travel : Yes  Duties:    Laundry      Grocery Shopping      Meal Planning / Preparation      Hand Wash Dishes      Escort to Appointments      Plan Visits, Outings, & Trips to Visit Neighbours, Friends, Family      Bathing Assistance         References   Carla Bernaldez  Worked for them to baby sit their 3 yr old son Nov 2012 to June 4, 2013 in Virginia.
