About Bonnie

For me caregiver is not only a job title; it is a way of life. It is in my nature to want the best for others, especially children and seniors. When a caregiver is called for, I feel it is vital to daily highlight the reasons for joy in their lives. I have over 30 years experience in all areas where a caregiver may be needed, and multiple references which I would be happy to share with you.

Experience & Education

Alzeimer's patient caregiver

Feb 2018 - Present
Lisa Drake
I love this lady! Mostly, I am her companion. I encourage her to get outside and walk around a little, and we go for icecream and dinner from time to time. She has some hip pain, so I am respectful of the times she doesn't feel up to outings. We get along very well, since I do not demand anything from her ever, but kindly suggest and carefully choose my reminders. She is required to shower once a week, and the processes elude her, so she does not prefer it. It takes 2-3 hours to get her shower started, but once she is in, the rest comes to her just fine. We have dinner together twice a week and spend the evening watching old movies that she enjoys tremendously.
