I have experience as a paid companion in a job that was brief (because I had to relocate and I had warned employer before hiring). As a stay-at-home mom (before my son moved to college) and also a lifelong pet keeper and gardener, I enjoy tending others and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I have some experience with two Alzheimer's patients (my neighbor, before and after diagnosis, and my then father-in-law). As a long-time copy-editor for an academic publisher (before my son was born) I am also interested in gaining information and ideas to improve my knowledge and skills. I am extremely proud of my son (as a single mom for some years) and gardens I've made as well as the relationships I've found in Ventura (and the ones I've kept for years). I am happy to obtain a background check upon request (and have had several on another website through which I got my Santa Monica job) as well as references upon request.
