Experience: 10 yrs
with over 5 years of nursing experience and 23 years of experience as a dedicated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I am passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care to patients of all ages, with specialized experience in both elderly care and pediatrics. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working closely with families and individuals to ensure their loved ones receive attentive, respectful, and professional care in the comfort of their homes or care settings. I am IV certified, CPR certified, and committed to maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and comfort. Whether you're seeking dependable care for an aging parent or support for a child with medical needs, I bring warmth, professionalism, and over two decades of hands-on experience to every patient relationship.
I hired Arika to care for my sister. My sister was suffering from brain cancer and, because of her cancer, was paralyzed on her entire left side and could be difficult to transfer. Arika was punctual, worked extra hours when asked and managed my sister's care very well. She spent time actually talking with my sister which I appreciated greatly. But, more than anything, Arika proved herself calm and helpful in an emergency. I was in the midst of a crisis with my sister when Arika arrived for her shift one morning. Her experience and sense of urgency helped me to make appropriate decisions to get my sister the help she needed in a very stressful situation. For that, I will always be thankful.
