About Paula

Experience: 3 yrs

Making a difference in someone's life is what I strive for as a caregiver. My three years of experience have solidified my passion for supporting adults and seniors, building on positive experiences in previous care roles. I am patient, compassionate, and friendly, which helps me connect with those I care for. I understand the importance of knowing your loved one's preferences and personal history. I provide verbal and written updates to families, ensuring clear communication. I adapt to changing routines, de-escalate stressful situations, and handle confusion with care. I am comfortable providing transportation, running errands, assisting with light housekeeping, preparing meals, and offering mobility assistance. I also have experience with dementia care and medical management. I am CPR and First Aid certified, speak Spanish, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. I hope to bring comfort and peace of mind to your family.
