About Elka

Experience: 10 yrs

I've been a caregiver for 15 years, and love giving the best care to my patients, I also enjoy talking to them and making them very comfortable. I became a caregiver because I like to help and encourage the elderly. I'm an honest, loving and caring person. It gives me a great satisfaction to know that I'm helping my client. I'm also a great listener I respect everyone and their well being. I would be a great fit for the position as a caregiver because I have the ability to maintain a good relationship with several clients. I'm passionate about providing care to those in need. What makes me stand out as a great caregiver is being dependable, compassionate and trustworthy. My strengths as a caregiver are honesty because I'm honest about my work load. if I don't understand something I'll ask questions. I'm also self motivated and always willing to give my very best in what I do and challenge myself to learn new things. My greatest weakness is saying no to helping others.

Elka cared for my elderly mom suffering from dementia for 1 year. She was kind, patient, skilled, and very punctual. Elka was great at keeping my mom and the care environment clean and germ-free. She also took time to address the mental aspect of the disease and was considerate of its effects on my family members and me. I would highly recommend Elka.
