Veronica F.     Age 66      Female      Laurel  - Houston Road   Member ID: 11779  Seeking work as a : House Manager  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am a fun-loving Christian woman who enjoys people, life, serving, entertaining and hospitality and helping people with something they need help in. My greatest satisfaction or gratification is derived from seeing someone who needs help get the help they need. I love to laugh and play with little people, I work well with teenagers and I enjoy working with seniors. I enjoy meeting and greeting with people - I am a hugger and I rarely meet a stranger I can win over with my smile and kind spirit. I beleive in giving and serving in areas that really make a difference in one's life. My hobbies/things I enjoy doing include bike riding, swimming, reading, cooking, barbecuing, entertaining friends, family and church members, traveling, fishing, quiet time, book cassettes, working large interlocking puzzles, doing arts and crafts, and other fun stuff to make you laugh such as board games (monopoloy, trouble, yahtzee, uno and other fun games). I am very dependable, reliable, punctual, supportive, committed towards a mission, able to trouble shoot and analyze situations and problems, proactive and a DOER. I have a grown son and one granddaughter who both reside in Chicago so I am free to travel to stay overnight at times and support caregiving. My mother raised two girls, my sister and myself and we both are hardworking and people of good moral integrity. I hold a bachelors of Science in Education (Workforce, Education and Development) and a Master of Arts in Education (Curriculum instruction). I love to learn and I love to teach others the importance and value of learning. I have functioned as a department trainer on two separate occasions and currently, I manage managers who manage hourly staff in a housekeeping department. I am desiring a change from this vocation and to get more in tuned to serving families and elderly people. I currently sit with a gentlemen on the weekend who has suffered a stroke and I am a part of his non-medical care team. He is making great progress but he still has a long way to go to be at 100. My likes are many I just beleive in trying healthy things and if I don't like them I won't do them again however, I have a very open mind and I am willing to try new things, fun things that make people life, entertain them and are just good for the soul. My dislikes are dishonesty, and individuals who practice deceit, discord, and who bring unnecessary confusion to one's life. I am very upfront and cordial and considerate of all people including strangers and I really do beleive in giving to a person that I myself would want to receive and giving what a person needs (providing they are able to communicate their needs). My friends and church members would say that I am a server, a giver, I have an open heart for the average person--I beleive in speaking to ALL people regardless if I am spoken to or not.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: No  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 2 references My current job role is a full time housekeeping assistant director in a hospital setting and my staff performes housekeeping services to patient and ancillary areas - I oversee the operations to ensure quality and consistent cleaning I directly manage 4 managers and up to 100+ employees Also, on the weekends I provide light housekeeping services along with companionship services to my client      Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree  I hold a bachelors of Science and a masters of Arts both in Education      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : House Manager  Prefer to work in: House & Apartment Cleaning  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed   Willing to provide own cleaning equipment: Yes  Willing to provide own cleaning supplies: Yes    Desired Start Date: February 28, 2013  Desired Salary: $25/Hour  Childcare Responsibilities: Yes  Eldercare Responsibilities: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Clean the inside of the home and the immediate external areas (porch, patio, walk ways, garden)      Kitchen cleaning- Dishes, cleaning inside and outside of fridge, cupboards, oven, dishwasher, pantry, counters and floors      Clean Outside of Oven, Fridge, and Dishwasher      Laundry (washing, drying clothing and household items)      Ironing      Meal preparation and service      Grocery shopping and household errands      Receive & serve guests      Rotate seasonal clothing in closets, maintain pantry and routinely clear out of date and spoiled items.      House sitting      Bed making, linen changing      Travel arrangements on behalf of employer      Hiring and supervising other household staff members      Plan/direct special events       Additional Experiences/Qualifications/Preferences: I have been in the cleaning industry since 1991 and have acquired much useful experience to creating and clean and safe environment I have functioned as a safety, quality representative ensuring staff are well trained and practice safety I inspect what I expect        References   Denise Wiley  I worked for Ms. Wiley at Crothall Healthcare in Chicago, IL Rush University Environmental Services Department.
