Hi! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with over three years of experience working in senior living and a certified CNA. I’ve helped support seniors with daily care, mobility, companionship, and more—always bringing patience, compassion, and respect to every person I care for. I’ve also worked in church daycares since I was 16, caring for children of all ages. I'm currently a college student studying psychology and have taken developmental courses that help me better understand the emotional and behavioral needs of both kids and older adults. In addition to caregiving, I offer trusted house-sitting and pet-sitting services. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always respectful of others’ homes. Whether I’m caring for a loved one or looking after your pets and space, I treat each responsibility with care. If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and experienced—I’d love to help your family feel supported and at ease.

Thank you for considering my application. While I don’t have extensive formal experience in childcare, I do have some experience helping care for younger family members. Additionally, I currently work part-time as a caregiver in a senior living facility, where I provide daily assistance and support to residents. This role has given me valuable experience in providing compassionate care, maintaining a safe environment, and helping with various tasks around the home. I believe these skills can translate well to caring for your elderly parent, and I would be happy to further discuss how I can contribute to your family’s needs. I look forward to the opportunity to connect.

My name is Jené and I have 10+ years working with children and the elderly. I began working at a direct support specialist with individuals with disabilities. Once I obtain my Bachelors concentrating on Special Education I began teaching. I wanted a more one-on-one approach to education so I began providing ABA therapy and respite for military families. I love kiddos and finding ways to engage their minds from building blocks to scientific experiments. Or we can just run around and be silly!! I also have worked with the elderly in various capacities. Providing them with transportation to appointments, organizing a room or sorting bills as Papa pal to spiritual care as a Hospice Chaplain. I love people and enjoy helping people laugh and be their best self!
