My interest and love for the elderly is truly intrinsic and I genuinely enjoy working with older adults. I take pride in renewing a senior’s interest in living, helping them to exercise cognitive functioning, reinforcing socially acceptable patterns of behavior and most importantly improving the quality of life of my clients and their family members. Through my personal experience I know all too well how difficult it can be to work through the medical system, to communicate effectively the needs of your loved one, and to be assured every day that they are receiving compassionate and appropriate care. I have personally experienced the emotional roller coaster families go through during a medical crisis, and the emotional and physical wear and tear that extended illness can take on both the patient and the family. In addition to providing companionship, I can help monitor medications, prepare delicious meals, keep home and laundry clean, transport to Dr's appointments, etc. My main focus is to adhere to each individuals needs on a personal level, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Companionship for seniors and caregiving provides me with an opportunity to give back, to provide peace of mind to seniors, to provide comfort and to add to someone's quality of life for those who need a little extra help to live out their lives in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. This my journey, my calling. There's a quote I once heard that says, "Knowledge comes, but wisdom
