Trevor’s Bio
I have not been a care giver for decades--about 2 decades. I have been an administrative assistant for St. John Providence Hospital for the past 13 years.
Prior to that, before I married and had children, I was a care giver for an elderly couple that needed someone to cook dinner, light housekeeping and laundry. I found this job through the Birmingham Community House. I worked after my regular job. I arrived around 5pm and left around 8pm 3 days a week. I would leave meals in the refrigerator for them to have dinner on the days I was not going to be in their home.
I also worked a weekend shift for a lady that needed the same care as the couple. I arrived on Friday around 6pm and left on Monday around 730am.
My father had dementia for many years. He is now deceased. I have first hand knowledge of the toll this takes on the family.
I am of the population age group that you seek to provide care. This makes me more attuned to their needs and struggles. I felt that I was understanding decades ago. Time has been kind enough to grant me growth, empathy and wisdom.
I lack the professional experience that you may seek. I am able to learn and reach back to the time I did involve myself in caregiving.
By the way, I do have a current BLS/CPR certification.
