About Patricia

At an early age I seemed to connect with older adults and like to help out when needed. I have had many older friends as mentors that taught me a variety of life skills. These wise mentors taught me love, compassion and service to others which I am able to bring to my clients. I enjoy serving others, treating my clients with respect and valuing their needs in the same way that I would want to be treated. Presently, I have afternoons and evenings open. I go to school from 8am to 12:30 Monday-Friday.

Caregiver for elderly

Nov 2015 - Mar 2016
Steve Barbour
My position was as a private caregiver/companion for an 88 year old woman with Alzheimer's/Dementia. I was with her 45 hours a week, 8am to 5pm. I took care or all bathing needs, meal preparation, light housework, outings, giving medications, help with dressing, assisting with mobility. I was asked by her son, whom she lived with, to take her out to a restaurant two time a week. The family put her into a nursing home/memory unit in March. I had a good rapport with the family and have excellent references from them.

I have over 5 years caregiver experience. I love helping others who are unable to do thing's on their own. I continued to do caregiving because of my grandfather o took care of for 3 year's back in 2010. Once he passed away i just felt i could do more by helping others that need help or just need someone to talk to. I am proud that i have made a difference in other people's lives.

I am Patient, very compassionate, detail oriented, and loving. My granny also known as my best friend had became very ill around 2013/2014 and my mother worked a full time job, she didn't have anyone to help her take care of my granny so I told my mother that I would provide for her. I took care of her day in and day out, I enjoyed bonding with her and getting to know and understand her interest. It allowed me to care for someone else aside from myself and build a remarkable bond. That experience encouraged my choice in major for college. I chose to go to school for nursing minoring in CNA and for Pre-Med to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. It is my passion to help others regardless of their circumstances.
