Lou Ann Benesh
All aspects of daily living, she was wheel chair bound, toileting,bathing, medication management 3x a day, breathing treatments, O2, exercises, puzzles, preparing all meals & goodies. Transportation to all appointments Dressing her, styling her hair, massage, housekeeping, laundry. Anything she needed I did w/a song in my heart & a spring in my step Tucking her in at night. What she did for me is provide me w/inspiration to lose weight & be healthy, together we walked through my journey of me losing 115lbs, she was always telling me to get out & walk & swim & together we ate healthy treats & my weight came off!! She taught me so much about raising adult children, she gave many suggestions on how to not spoil my granddaughter. I miss her so much she was a huge part of our lives for 2 yrs, I know she's healthy & strong & dancing w/Jesus & her husband & this makes me very happy & at peace. I was with her laying right beside her & singing to her when she took her last breath.

Jerrie Newton
This couple came up to Redding from the Walnut Creek area to attend some Christmas functions. I cared for her husband who by the way is a real sweetheart. His needs were, transfers, toileting, bathing, companionship & emptying his urine bag. I also chose to do some extra things for them Jerrie & Bob came over to my home and baked a cheesecake that she wanted to take to her Christmas party. So we had tea & cookies w/bob & I transferred him several times back & forth in the car & in to my home. It was so nice to be able to help them. They might be stuck in Redding for a few more days & I will do whatever needs to be done to help them w/this. I realized once again how much I love this work. If I could afford to do it for free I most certainly would!! Unfortunately I can't work for free, I sure love my work!!

I am personable and enjoy being a home care provider. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help others by assisting them with their activities of daily living. I enjoyed caring for many seniors over the years and learned quite a lot from them. I believe I'm a great caregiver because I have had extensive training in a skilled nursing facility as well as in many private homes. I also enjoy seeing the difference that I often make in people's lives. I became a nursing assistant back in 1982 and acquired my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license at the convalescent hospital where I worked. I then went on to work for several home care agencies and acquired my Certified Home HeaIth Aide (CHHA) license. I have worked as an independent contractor caregiver for years. I am willing to commute for full-time employment. I have great references and will be happy to submit them upon request.
