About Erica

My name is Erica. I am college student at Rockland Community College. I'm a certified Home Health Aide that cares for the elderly. I provide assistance with daily activities and healthcare. Many of the things I do for my job title are light housekeeping such as dusting, making & changing the bed, laundry, or taking out garbage. My main duties are showering people every day or every other day (men and women), taking care of their dental needs, hair, finger nails and toe nails, dressing, shaving helping to choose what to wear plus other very personal needs. Cooking them healthy food, making sure they eat 3 healthy meals a day including fruit and even their afternoon and morning teas, also give out their medications if included on the care plan. The elderly should be allowed to maintain their dignity and I show them the loving kindness and compassion they need at the home.
