Elder Care in San Jose, California

Joseph A. Vasquez (408) 50... [email protected] As a caregiver I like to try and make life easy. I also smile and try to put a smile on other peoples faces. I listen and follow how and what the person or client might want. To me there is nothing that would be too hard to do or try, that can't be done in a safe and careful manor. I am a very patient person and don't get frustrated easy. I grew up with an uncle who was quadriplegic, as a kid I always enjoyed helping care for him. Since then I have taken care of multiple family members and clients. I love what I do and I do what I love. I have done this work for the past seven years. I love people and I love helping in making them happy. I am a very good friend and a great person to be around. I do my job and do it well but do not treat the people I work with as an employer but like a friend and someone I care about. I aim to please and make people happy but also know the difference from work and friendship and get all care needed done in a professional manor. • Experience with terminal clients • Experience in bathing and over all hygiene care. • Diaper and linen changing. • Cooking and feeding. • House cleaning and yard work. • Coaching in community outings. • Range of motion exercise trained. • Trained to dispense medicine. • Trained in care of patients with seizure disorders. • CPR & First Aid trained. • Offering long term friendship. • Trained on proper wound care cleaning for bed sores.
