Part-Time Caregiver
I was raised in a family that stressed the importance of taking care of our elders through respect, kindness, generosity, and compassion. Throughout my life, I have genuinely loved being in the company of seniors because they have such profound wisdom and always have the most amazing stories. During high school I volunteered at a Hospice Center, where I learned the value and beauty of caring for hospice patients and their families. This experience opened my eyes to the importance of respite care for caregivers to prevent caregiver burnout. I currently work Per Diem at Brigham and Women's Hospital as a nurse's assistant, during which I have learned critical clinical skills specific for caring for senior patients. I would be so honored to help care for seniors in any way--medical needs, housekeeping needs, memory needs, caregiver needs, and hygiene needs among other things. Caring for our elders is a belief I advocate for strongly and feel blessed to be a part of!
