John B. Care Companion in Marengo, IL 60152

**Experienced, Dependable Caregiver | Long-Term Senior Care**

Caregiving is my second career, but it is truly where I have found my purpose. I began my caregiving career with Visiting Angels and transitioned into private caregiving, where I have been fortunate to build long-term relationships with my clients and their families.

I have hands-on experience caring for senior men with Parkinson's disease, dementia, diabetes, limited mobility and significant physical-care needs. My experience includes personal care and bathing, dressing and grooming, sit-to-stand assistance, Hoyer lift and bed-bound care training, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, companionship, errands, appointments and coordination with in-home healthcare providers.

My previous private-care positions have primarily been consistent, long-term assignments. I enjoy becoming a trusted part of a client's daily routine and providing families with the peace of mind that their loved one is being cared for by someone dependable, patient and attentive.

I am nationally certified as a Home Health Aide through the American Caregiver Association and am continuing to expand my professional caregiving education.

I am currently seeking a long-term position caring for a male senior, preferably with consistent weekday hours. I am available Monday-Friday during daytime hours.** I am happy to drive clients to appointments, errands and activities using the client's vehicle; I do not transport clients in my personal vehicle.

Helping someone maintain his dignity, independence and ability to remain safely and comfortably in his own home is what makes this work so meaningful to me.

Excellent references from previous client families are available.
