About James

Experience: 10 yrs

My medical training began in N. J., at M Medical Center, where I worked as a medical-surgical technician. I have also served as a nursing assistant in Hawaii and Europe. In a recent role, I provided long-term care to an individual who later passed away from a traumatic brain injury. My experience includes caring for individuals with quadriplegia, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and cerebral palsy. Responsibilities included bathing, dressing, meal preparation, feeding, medication oversight, exercise assistance, and transportation to medical appointments. In addition to clinical duties, I provided companionship, which was often a vital and rewarding aspect of my work. Light housekeeping and meal preparation were also part of my roles. References and local employment documentation are available upon request.

James has been an excellent caregiver for my dad over the past 18 months. As the needs of our family changed, James demonstrated flexibility and creativity in helping us adapt to the changes. In the beginning, we need help just once a day a few times each week. At the end, James often came to care for dad at least once each day although sometimes twice a day when some other caregivers were unavailable. Although my dad's condition declined, James always treated him with dignity and respect. The physical care of dad was impeccable. James was truly a blessing for my dad and our family.
