About Jeri

I have been caring for Seniors for more than 12 years now. I am an Exercise Physiologist by trade and have experience with most of the diseases that the elderly population suffers from. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I became a caregiver as one of my acquaintances needed some assistance with chores, transportation, odd jobs, etc and we soon became the best of friends, she told others and my experience grew from there. I have been working in the medical field for 30 years from Nursing Assistant to Physical Therapy Aide, Orthopedic Technician and Exercise Physiologist. I can do breathing treatments, administer medicines, take blood pressures and blood sugars. I have done everything from bathing, cooking, cleaning, watering plants, shopping, taking patients to appointments, helping with finances, transferring patients, exercise instruction and the teaching of many special populations classes. I am patient, caring, kind, friendly, honest and knowledgeable. I love being around people, especially seniors. They have so much to offer us. A personal achievement I am proud of other than gaining the trust and befriending all of the people I have helped in the past, would be the way the family of one of my last clients raved about my helping them get through the last days of being with their loved one. I offered encouragement each day to all of them and made the passing of their brother a much easier thing to accept. They said to please let them know where to post a

Hello friends, My name is Steve and I've been caring for people for 10 very rewarding years. I love being the best friend to people in much need of care. It's truly been the best job I've ever had. I understand that a lot of trust, respect and care is what caregiving is all about. I'm a culinary trained cook, so I can pretty much create whatever is desired and/ or craved. I have my own insured vehicle w/ an impeccable driving record as well. I have had many clients that have been very happy w/ my services, I also have many satisfied families who can attest to my unique quality of care. My hobbies are hiking, going for drives, most sports, definitely cooking, listening to music, reading and watching good movies. I'm an excellent w/ conversations and a good listener as well.

I have been helping seniors with daily living tasks for over 12 years now and I find helping others live happy, healthy, and comfortable lives is the most fulfilling work I've ever done. My family has been caring for families since I was 5 years old. When I was 22 I began working with my mother who has a background in nursing. We provided 24hr/7days per week care for a family friend, and I have helped several other families since, averaging 2 years with every client. I find that my height and strength are valuable assets in my field, especially when transfers and assistance transfering are required. My greatest happiness comes when I'm able to help people still go out and live exciting lives as well as be able to live comfortably at home without having move into convalescent homes.
