Kayla Jacobs
@kaylajacobs1
Personal Care Assistant focused on compassionate daily care and safe, organized support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Personal Care Assistant who supports clients with compassionate, respectful daily care—bathing/dressing, housecleaning, meal support, reminders for medications and appointments, and one-on-one companionship. I’m known for being dependable and going “above and beyond” to help create a safe, positive environment for the people I care for.
Across my roles with Carolina Hearts, A Gracious Touch Home Care LLC, and Native Angels Home Health and Hospice, I supported routines, maintained patient confidentiality, documented participation and concerns, and helped ensure healthcare infection prevention and control practices were followed. I also bring hands-on experience from residential care settings and healthcare support work, including crisis intervention and patient observation.
I’m also recognized for my impact—receiving an “Above and Beyond Caregiving Recognition” certificate in March 2025 for exceptional dedication, compassion, and commitment. Alongside my caregiving experience, I’ve worked in fast-paced hospitality and production environments, and I’m building my healthcare foundation through Associate of Science (A.S.) Allied Health Sciences coursework in areas like medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, and patient care concepts.
