Genevieve H. Care Companion in San Clemente, CA 92672

Hello! My name is Genevieve, and I just finished my second year at UC Santa Barbara studying Biopsychology and French. In January, I also started a weekly internship with Adventures in Caring—a nonprofit concerned with fighting social isolation in assisted living facilities by training college-aged students to build connections and provide emotional support. Through this organization, I have learned much about myself, others, and the importance of active listening. I'm very grateful for the experiences I've had and the folks I've met through my internship, and I'm looking for similar work to keep me busy while home for the summer. I find caregiving highly fulfilling, and I would consider connecting with others to be one of my strengths.

Although I have solely worked as a volunteer, I have more than 50 hours of experience from my weekly visits, and I am very familiar with the tasks asked of a caregiver. Growing up, I spent family holidays looking after my eight younger cousins. Throughout high school, formal babysitting taught me to be adaptable and to problem solve. I am responsible, organized, thorough, and a quick learner—if I don't know how to do something, I can pick it up immediately. I am strong and flexible, both figuratively and literally, so I am also comfortable providing mobility support. I can guarantee loving caretaking and companionship. Thank you, and I hope to get to know you and your family soon!
