Hi, my name is Ava! I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide based in Novato with experience caring for seniors in both facilities and private homes. I'm caring, patient, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy caregiving because I like helping people feel comfortable, supported, and cared for while building genuine connections with the people I work with. I'm experienced with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers, mobility assistance, meal prep, light housekeeping, errands, companionship, and daily routines. I have a reliable car and can also help with transportation and appointments. I'm available all day Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Thursday through Monday from 4 p.m. to midnight. I'm looking for part-time or recurring caregiving work.
I hired Ava for post-operative care after several facial plastic surgery procedures, and I had a wonderful experience. A nurse from the surgical facility accompanied me back to my hotel and got me settled for about an hour before Ava took over. She was incredibly flexible and ended up staying with me overnight until the following morning. Throughout the night, she made sure I had fresh ice every hour and was very independent, getting anything she needed from the hotel herself so I never had to leave my room. She even brought me breakfast the next morning. Ava was calm, attentive, and respectful of my privacy. One thing I especially appreciated was that she allowed me to recover peacefully. I was able to sleep on and off without feeling any pressure to make conversation. She quietly stayed nearby in the lounge chair, keeping an eye on me and stepping in whenever I needed assistance while otherwise allowing me to rest. I asked her to return the following morning, and she arrived promptly on time with my hotel breakfast. Later that day, I accidentally got shampoo in my eye, and she immediately drove to two different stores to find the specific eye drops I needed. I would absolutely recommend Ava to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable post-operative care, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.
