About Nicole

I've always been a natural care-taker. I practically raised my 4 younger siblings. I nannied while I was in college to help pay for school and had so many referrals that I had to stop taking clients. It is through one of those families that I eventually became a caretaker, the grandmother only wanted me to take care of her after watching how I was with her grandchildren. I am very patient, kind, understanding and I don't need to be told what to do. I pay attention to what needs to get done and if I see something needs doing I do it. I am always learning and will research on how I can do better. I love school and love learning so I am always researching new and better techniques but I have 10 years of experience in taking care of children and seniors so I know what needs to be done and I'm good at it. I enjoy being a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy helping people. I am very proud of learning physical therapy techniques so that I can properly help my clients with light exercises that help them to feel better. I am also a good cook, so I can help prepare meals and genuinely enjoy cooking. I am a great companion and can't wait to meet my new client.

Private caregiver for 78 year old lady that cannot walk. Responsible for bathing her, cooking all her meals, diaper changes, commode usage, administering medication, physical therapy exercises, taking her to and from physical therapy / doctor appointments plus since I am with her most of the day I'll do some light house keeping when she is resting. She suffers from severe depression along with Parkinson's, Arthritis and post polio so mostly I am just her friend, someone to hear her thoughts and remind her of the things she can be happy for.
