WORK EXPERIENCE

Resident Caregiver

Arden Courts - Towson, MD - March 2016 to Present

I like the work and Residents that I work with here, however there has been a break down of management and several people have resigned in the last 3 days. I am not satisfied in my salary and really do need to make a change. I want to be totally honest with you on my reasons for leaving . Caregiver

Bernard Pabich - Fort Howard, MD - September 2008 to May 2011 Mr. Pabich was a 80 year old man who broke his hip and needed care at the time to bathe dress cook clean although his wife was there and she suffered from Bi-Polar and could not be effective. He also had diabetes he became ill one year after Christmas when he went to the hospital it was found that he had a problem with his colon, they eventually gave him a colostomy, and then for reasons still unknown to me he was put on dyalasis something I didn't think he needed he was doing well on medications however after 1 year on this he passed away. He was bed bound for the last 8 months of his life and never had any sores or any complications, I moved in with him for the last year he had a wound on his stomach from his operations, and I took care of his colostomy and transfers from bed to chair chair to car for his dyalasis. I cooked a special diet and even cheated when he wanted to. He loved birds so his bed was downstairs and I put 2 large bird feeders on his back porch so he could see all the different birds come to eat. The last 3 days of his life were in the hospital and I was there when he passed 3am May 15th 2011 I reall y liked Mr. Jack he is truly missed. Caregiver

HERO - Baltimore, MD - March 1981 to August 1984

I worked at the University Of Maryland with AIDS patients. It was in the beginnings Of the epidemic and everyone was succumbing to the virus. I was a hands on bathing, feeding, if needed dressings for wounds most of all support for them and their families and friends. I excel in the care and (counciling) of those in hospice. Although I do not carry a degree in this work I would say it was my calling I understand the stages and human emotions very well and have always done well when worked with those in hospice.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In 2012 my only child Robert was diagnosed with PET a rare brain cancer and their is no cure. I left work and became my son's Caregiver I guess I don't have to tell you what that was like or the sorrows that still follow me. I know that whenever I am working be it Hospice or dementia or cut on their hand I am taking care of my son. I was very fortunate to have one of the top,surgeons in Baltimore and some very good doctors and nurses and when I work with people even before he died but more so know I always say if this was Robert what would I want for him and before that it was what if this were me. When it comes to care and it has been through alot of experience there isn't to much I cannot do. I am an excellent caregiver and someone who would round off your team. I hope to hear from you soon and we can discuss more of what were both looking for. I didn't know where else to put this it would not let me make a change.
