Work Experience
Home Health Aide
BAYADA Home Health Care-Wilkes County, NC
December 2018 to Present
As a home health aide, I provide assistance to clients in their homes with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and housekeeping, while also monitoring basic health needs. The majority of my clients are elderly and do not have the ability to maintain their homes, nor any help available. Some of my duties include personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation assistance, and providing emotional support. I schedule doctors appointments and maintain medical records. It is not in my job description to perform electrical work, plumbing, HVAC repair, regular lawn maintenance (mowing, weedeating, mulching) or landlord duties, but I do those things because they have to be done.
