About Monika

My husband and I took care of my parents during the last years of their lives. I love working with people and worked as a registered dietitian in long-term care for many years, helping residents enjoy their meals on restricted diets, considering food preferences as well as allergies. Resident satisfaction and improvement was my personal greatest pleasure. Due to life-saving surgery, from which I am fully recovered, I am looking for responsibilities in a less public environment. I love discussing current life and political issues. I love history. I was born and raised in Germany. I love bird watching. I have reliable and insured transportation. I am dependable and honest. I am very patient.I can do housework, laundry, medication regime monitoring, bathing/showering, toilet assistance, shopping, escorting to any events, etc.

I provided companionship for a 91-year old gentleman, prepared breakfast and lunch and served beverages, light housekeeping (cleaning up after his dogs too), washed all clothing and bedding weekly, assisted with medication administration, assisted with bathing, walked 2 dogs daily and gave weekly dog baths. I greatly enjoyed being with the gentleman and truly miss him since he passed away. I still communicate with his daughter. References are available.

I have been a caregiver since 2009. I have a great passion for taking care of others and have spent most of my working career doing so. I have extensive experience in almost every area providing care for this population. I have worked with a variety of Alzheimer's and dementia clients as well as Parkinson's, MS, Diabetes, severe respiratory issues, Huntington's disease , cancer and those on hospice all which include many different special needs. I have a degree in Psychology from CSUS that I earned in 1983. If there's something new I'm not familiar with, I'm more than willing to learn. I love to cook and most likely can make almost anything up on request. I'm always willing to do house cleaning and laundry. I take pride in my work and always go above and beyond what is expected of me. I enjoy conversing with those I provide care for, they always have such interesting memories and history. My mission is to always treat my clients with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. I also work at the San Juan Unified School District with Autistic preschool children which requires much energy, patience and understanding. I am also fully vaccinated. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications and how I can help you.
