About Phronsa

I am a 61 year old lady and an older mom with a daughter (16 yrs) and son (23 yrs). I've been doing caregiving for over 20 years. For the last 2 1/2 years, I worked with clients with Alzheimer's and I feel very comfortable in working getting their needs met, while helping them feel safe and reducing anxiety. With becoming a caregiver, I had just finished my first semester of R.N. school when my mom and first husband both died of cancer (25 days apart) and I was needed to care for my father as his grieving made him unable to care for himself. I then, to assist me with my own grief, started to help care for others, first with hospice, then went on to caregiving for people in their homes. I love caregiving because helping people (especially older folks) brings joy and comfort to me. The trust that clients and families give to me is humbling and rewarding. Again, working with clients who have Alzheimer's takes a special place in my heart, but I love helping anyone in need. If you will try me out as a caregiver for yourself (or loved one), you will be happy and very satisfied. I have letters of reference and am happy to work with you....rest assured everything you wish/need accomplished will be done in a timely, professional and loving way.

I primarily work with a client with Alzheimer's. It is a job I find most rewarding as I learn daily to be sensitive to "where the client is" emotionally and cognitively. Some days the client is scared, or agitated or uncooperative. I use gentle and reassuring meansd to help the client do the activities of daily living. I also makes effort to keep the client engaged mentally, watch the news together, ask the client questions,, etc. Anything that can be done to keep mental function is vital. I also work with clients near death. This means being sensitive to the client and the clients' friends and family. I am able to work with the Hospice team to help the client and family/friends.

I am 30years old with over 10 years of professional caregiving experience. I became a caregiver because helping others is truly an amazing feeling. I am very dedicated to my clients and their well-being. I am dependable. I am very respectful of people and their emotions. I have a habit of putting others first, which I find to be good. I have a lot of patience for people, everything takes time. I love to organize and to keep things in a simple and easy way to find. Cooking is always fun especially finding new ways to keep it healthy. I believe communication is key, wether it's just listening to a story or instructions they are just as important. Making sure every situation is a safe environment, safety is number one. I just really love to be a part of someone's life and to make a positive impact on their life's when most needed. It brings me joy to help others.
