Argie’s Bio

I am thoughtful, caring, and hard working. I am loving and have a great sense of humor. I am punctual, dependable, reliable, and have high ethical standards. I most enjoy performing random acts of kindness as often as possible.

I cared for my 92yo grandmother in my home full-time. She was mostly blind and suffered from dementia. Duties included preparation of every meal, cleaning, laundry, miscellaneous errands. I dispensed her meds and organized her medical care. I read to her, played music for her, massaged her arms and legs, assisted with everything--eating meals, brushing teeth, dressing, bathing, toileting, walking, and physical therapy.

While I don't currently hold a CPR certificate, I have taken CPR several times over the years, the last class being 2 yrs ago. I took the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT 1A) class at Hartnell College years ago.
