Denise D.

I believe that the elderly should be treated with respect, care, and offered caring assistance. My goal is to assist seniors so that they could maintain an independent lifestyle. At the same time, loved ones and family members could feel comfortable knowing that a caring person is there to help. In the past, I have worked with seniors and children with disabilities. I'll be happy to provide assistance in daily living which can include light housekeeping: sweeping, dusting, changing linen, washing dishes, etc. meal preparations, assistance in eating, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often snacks as well. Running errands grocery shopping, pharmacy, etc. taking client to medical appointments, keeping up on my clients' hygiene, lite physical/ massage therapy or exercise routine as needed, weekly laundry. I'm a very compassionate, loving, kind-hearted, intelligent, fast learner, good listener, patient, understanding, honest & humble, as well as trustworthy. Companionship is of high importance as well. My hours of availability are limited at this time; if weekends or other hours are required it can possibly be worked out if you are located in Riverside or if there is a need for a possible live-in position. For new clients, payscale can be negotiable I take into consideration needs, driving time, etc.

I am interested in people's history and personal stories. I have raised my child to his now adulthood which taught me to multitask. Others say I am kind and patient. Since marriage to my (late) good husband I helped him through his various episodes of kidney failure since an early age. I am the one of 6 sisters who always lived nearest to my parents. Therefore I was usually the one to help them in their elderly years. As my mother's health declined I learned the importance that she regularly take her medicine. If possible I encourage my clients to get outside for at least a little while. I like to make sure they move around the house & get daily exercise. I noticed that degenerative folks need hope, compassion and companionship so they can enjoy the small moments of each day.
