About Leslie

I am a good fit for families and loved ones seeking a caregiver because I am attentive, nurturing, compassionate and skilled at determining a persons needs. I have been working with private clients since 1/16 doing caregiving and babysitting. My main caregiving client has late stage dementia and while under my care, her overall health and happiness has been significantly improved. I have been working with clients and patients for the past several years as a Holistic Health Coach and Lifestyle Educator, helping them achieve greater health. I am also a mother of two. My combined professional and personal skills help me to be a better caregiver. In addition to caring for my own family, patients and clients, I helped care for a long time family friend who developed Dementia. Prior to going into an assisted living facility, I assisted with basic personal care needs, shopping, meal prep and companionship. I understand the primary needs of a client with memory care needs.

As a person I am very loving,dependable, carrying,and compassionate about my job and the people I work for. I've been working in this field for 8+ years 2 years with dementia and Alzheimer. I want to make sure my client is happy, satisfied with me and with my job towards the individual; I also can be trusted in anyway, shape, or form. I care alot about what i do because I want to be a good role model toward people around me and toward my kids. I like to make other people smile and enjoy their days with an open mind and positive ,attitude, and thoughts. I also enjoy getting to know other peoples trait in their own and special way cause I know each of us, as human beings are different in every way. What I've accomplished in this work is, I can offer my loving attention towards other people, by making them happy in everyway or so eventhough they are struggling or need people in their lives to lift them up and never give up on everything. I want them to know, there are people out there who care and love about them no matter what the situation is.
