Juanita M. Care Companion in Citrus Heights, CA 95610

I’m a student taking some time to figure out big picture stuff. It’s always been difficult for me deciding on a major because I just want to help everyone. I love the planet, animals, and people. From a very young age I took care of my younger brother and it was something that came very naturally to me. I’ve always loved taking care of others and making sure they didn’t lack anything. In addition, I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and even pet sit geese, tortoises, bunnies, pigs, and other dogs. I’ve always been very responsible and enjoyed doing things that weren’t easy. I take pride in doing my best at what I do. In the past, I’ve baby sat for ages 5-10 for temporary periods of time that included driving them to activities they were a part of, cooking, light cleaning, and help with homework. More recently, I worked as a Caregiver for differently abled adults. My job included preparing meals, handing out medications, driving my patients to appointments, taking them out for nice walks, assisting with toileting and showering, and overall being a good companion. We would have weekly meetings to discuss the patients needs and what we could do to improve their quality of life along with any observations we had. I truly loved my job because it allowed me to be my truest self and truly enjoy the work I was doing to my core. I currently do not have any active training but have a medical terminology certification and am willing to become cpr certified. Overall, I can honestly say that I am just a kind person that enjoys being kind and loving to others, always and isn’t afraid to go the extra mile.
