Felicia H.     Age 40      Female      Jersey City  - Bramhall Ave   Member ID: 25130  Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am an only child but have been around children my whole life; I started watching an infant when I was ten. I know some might say that is extremely young yet I took that on as a challenge I became more focused and maturity hit early. I went on to watching even more children as I grew and it has brought me happiness to see them years later as a successful adult. I love cooking, reading and writing. I love the outdoors, waterparks, amusement parks and the like. With that said my main focus is on education because with it the world is endless and without it the world seems extremely small. I dislike when people are taken advantage of especially children and seniors; those the most fragile and vulnerable ages. I have seen children be affected until adulthood because they missed something in Maslow's hierarchy of needs which is unfortunate. I have also seen seniors being neglected at the most basic level and it affects their trust towards the next person. I desire to be part of the solution in making sure neither is mistreated whichever way I can. I am recent married with plans of volunteering for big sisters little sister, also of becoming a foster mother and other things. I could go on and on..      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   7 years experience, 0 references I have been a licensed home health aide since two thousand seven, it has been very rewarding to say the least. I have seen so many situations and worked with so many people both that seemingly cared and didn't. I have witnessed first hand at what a good caregiver can provide and seen how someone depressed and distraught can make improvements. I have worked both in home and in an assisted care facility. I intent on enriching the lives of those that are in my care through communication, consistency and shared activities. There's nothing more important than having the right person taking care of your loved one it means that they are safe and thriving.      Skills:    Ambulation Assistance      Bathing Assistance      Bed Bath      Catheter/ Colostomy Care      Dressing Grooming assistance      Giving Injections      Heavy Patient lifting & transfer      Hoyer Lift      Oxygen Administration      Patient Positioning      Range of Motion Exercise      Toileting Assistance      Tube Feeding     Experience and skills with following Diagnosis :    Alzheimer's      Amputee      Arthritis      Bedridden      Cancer      Chemotherapy/Radiation Treatment      Congestive Heart Failure      Dementia      Diabetes      Dialysis      Hearing Impairment      Hospice      Incontinence (diapers)      Malnutrition      Osteoporosis      Paralysis      Parkinson's      Pneumonia      Quad/ Paraplegic Care      Speech Impairment      Stroke      Visual Impairment   Education/Training: Caregiver / Companion, Health Care Aides (HCA) Certificate, Associates Degree      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed   Prefer to work in:    Home Health Care      Retirement Homes      Clinic / Hospital     Desired Start Date: October 07, 2015  Desired Salary: $13/Hour or $1800 - $2000/month  Willing to travel : Yes,but up to 10 km  Duties:    Housekeeping      Laundry      Grocery Shopping      Meal Planning / Preparation      Supervise Home      Errands      Clean Bathroom      Assist with Pet Care      Assist with Walking      Vacuuming      Hand Wash Dishes      Escort to Appointments      Plan Visits, Outings, & Trips to Visit Neighbours, Friends, Family      Bathing Assistance      Alzheimer/Dementia Care      Palliative Care      Parkinson Care      Lifts and Transfers         References   kareem jones  I've known this person since sophomore year of high school, we attended classes together and later attended church together.
