About Scott

Hello, my name is Scott. I retired from the fire department in 2014, and became a caregiver after taking care of my wife who had cancer. I have been in the medical field for almost 25 years, working in the ER and ICU on my days off. Arizona Heart Hospital was my favorite! I am an Advanced EMT with CPR and numerous certifications. Phlebotomy, G-tube, Foley Catheter placement and care, to name a few. I have also recently worked with elderly that needed a little extra TLC. I have taken care of wonderful people who have had Dementia, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. I am a very patient individual who understands the needs of your loved ones. Bed baths, preparing meals and feeding, giving daily medications (liquid, pills, & injections), dressing, shaving, wound care, housework, and of course documentation are some of the responsibilities that I'm used to. Thank you for taking the time to read my information!

Aug 2014 - Present
Private Caregiver
I retired from the fire department to take care of my wife, who was battling cancer. We made it through the long struggle. My wife suggested that I should help others. I started working with several patients who had Dementia, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. I find it truly rewarded to offer compassionate care for these wonderful individuals. I was well trained when I worked at Arizona Heart Hospital in the ICU. I can do bed baths, tube feeding, foley catheter placement and care, wound care, medical documentation, meal preparation, administering medications (orally and injections), and numerous other things.

Four years ago I retired from nursing. Recently, I moved to Phoenix Arizona to be near family. I have one married daughter in Phoenix where I presently reside, and another married daughter in Peoria. My daughter and son-in-law in Peoria have one daughter and are currently expecting their second child. Prior to moving here, my most recent pertinent work experience was as a homecare non-medical provider to an senior woman in her Kansas home. Though hired as "non-medical care provider" much of my assistance with this woman did revolve around her medical needs as she was an end-stage cancer patient, as well as diabetic. I helped manage her medication schedule, transportation and ensuring she went to medical/doctor appointments. I also monitored her daily health needs such as blood pressure, blood sugars, etc. I would like to care for you or a loved one in your home, and assist you with some of your care needs. I am willing to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparations, exercise/physical therapy programs, transportation and occasional errands or grocery shopping. I enjoy reading, baking, music, walking and spending time outdoors, as well as spending time with my family. I would be delighted to come work for you! --Freida McMahon
