  Work Experience & Education Background
 
1 years experience, 4 references
As an infant I was adopted by my grandparents. Having been raised by my grandparents, who had very active social lives, I am comfortable around the elderly. I also believe I have a good understanding of different wants and needs they may have, depending on his or her own unique situation. I enjoy helping others and elderly care comes naturally to me. In middle school I was in Glee Club and I would volunteer to sing for the elderly at nursing homes, in Laporte Indiana. In High-School I did volunteer work at Merry Manor nursing home, In Laporte, Indiana. I have taken many Psychology/Social Work courses that have provided me with educational background involving Aging, the elderly, Care-giving, and hospice work. I was also a live-in hospice provider for my grandmother. This experience showed me that not only can I handle this line of work, but I am passionate about it. Recently, I have been providing relief and help for an elderly woman whose husband has chosen hospice at home. I have also had some training for hospice work and caring for the elderly. I intend to provide care for the elderly in any way possible. If I do not know how to do something, I am willing to learn. I believe it is extremely important for the elderly to have honest, reliable, intelligent, and patient care-givers. This is the type of person who I am striving to be and care-giving is more tan just a job for me, it is a passion.

I have been a house sitter, cleaning lady, and pet sitter for Joan Lewis. She has also referred me to several friends who I have performed House Manager/House Keeper/Cleaning/Child Care and pet care duties for upon request. I worked for her in her home in Hinsdale, Illinois. I have been both a live-in and live-out employee of hers at different times depending on our current life situations. I have been providing care for her and her home for years when I have been available and needed. We have developed a great professional relationship.
