About Terry

Hi, Your listing jumped out at me and I'd love to be considered. You seem like a loving daughter and it would be an honor to care for your father while allowing your mother to get much needed sleep. My wife's grandfather lost his battle with Alzheimer's just a couple of weeks ago and her grandmother was his primary caretaker. I saw firsthand how much that takes out of a person. I would help her every chance I got. He needed to be fed, changed, shaved and bathed. My mother passed away about 9 years ago, she also need help getting around. So, while I do not have industry experience, I have life experience and can provide: empathy, dependability, patience and strength. My mother in law works for Visiting Angels, a caretaker staffing agency, it was her father who passed last month. I'll provide her contact information below, as she can speak to my dependability and many other attributes. She also has provided me with caretaker training so that I could assist her with her father. I'd like to tell you a little about me. I am 37 years old, married for 14 years and have 3 amazing sons ages: 11, 6 and 3. My wife is a photographer and stay home mom. In fact, if you look at her page on Facebook, you'll see a tribute to her grandfather in photos ( https://www.facebook.com/shamron.sobecki/media_set?set=a.845402548810896.1073741835.100000234759912&type=1 ). I have mostly management experience. I was a supervisor at Comcast for the last 10 years until I was let go last week

    I became a caregiver about ten years ago. I enjoy working with seniors and helping seniors to become as independent as they can. I was "Caregiver of the Month" for Home Instead Senior Care.

    I'm Ed, a semi-retired university professor of health administration in Tucson Arizona. I assist clients navigate the healthcare system as well as help them with paying bills, organizing their medications, and providing transportation to medical appointments. I do not provide cooking or direct assistance with bathing, eating or other activities of daily living. Rather I serve as an informal case manager and coordinator of services. I want to help seniors and others thrive whatever their condition. I'm currently volunteering at the Villa Maria Care Center. Also, I have experience in assisting my parents as they aged. I have an MBA and a PhD in Health Care Administration, and I worked as a educator and trainer for 27 years. I am a intermediate-level Spanish speaker, and would like to have more practice speaking Spanish with bilingual clients.
