Leaha T. Care Companion in Elyria, OH 44035

- I want to be a caregiver because I genuinely value helping people maintain their dignity, comfort, and independence. I find fulfillment in being there for others during times when they need support the most—whether that means assisting with daily tasks, offering companionship, or simply listening. Care giving allows me to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life through patience, empathy, and reliability. I’m drawn to this role because it combines practical responsibility with human connection, and I take pride in being someone others can depend on for care, respect, and compassion.
- In my recent role, I provided hands-on care to older adults in both assisted living and memory care settings. I assisted residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and meal support while ensuring their comfort, safety, and dignity. I worked closely with residents experiencing memory loss, using patience, clear communication, and compassionate redirection to support their emotional well-being. I also followed individualized care plans, monitored changes in residents’ conditions, and communicated effectively with nursing staff and team members to provide consistent, high-quality care.
-I have three years of hands-on experience working in assisted living and memory care, where I provided daily support to older adults with varying levels of physical and cognitive needs. My skills include assisting with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, and meal support. I am experienced in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, using patience and redirection techniques to support residents safely and respectfully. I am CPR certified and have completed 75 hours of STNA schooling, giving me a strong foundation in resident safety, infection control, vital signs, communication, and basic clinical care. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care.
