About HARRIET

Hi, I have 6 years of experience as a caregiver. I have worked with both male and female clients, and with stroke, diabetes, wheel chair, bed bound, Alzheimer and dementia clients both in homes and assisted living facilities and I have loved every bit of it. I also have both live-in and live-out experience and have loads of experience with assisting with ADLs, incontinence, meal preparation, medication reminder, shower, laundry to mention a few. I am also a certified Pharmacy Technician with a BA bachelor's degree and I am currently in school aspiring to become an RN. I am a perfectionist, very kind, very patient and I love sitting with and indulging my clients. I like to laugh a lot and love sharing jokes. The best part of my job is seeing the look of satisfaction on my clients faces and knowing I in my own small way have brought some comfort into their lives. I have got exceptional references to prove that I am an exceptional caregiver.

Hello, I'm Heather. I became a caregiver because I believe it is my Destiny. My grandmother was 80yrs old when she went into a diabetic COMA, (we didn't know that she was diabetic) we (the family members) were all called in to say our goodbyes,because after 2wks her heart was failing . I got there last to say my goodbye, and as soon as I started speaking to her, "my grandmother awoked" and started speaking to me, she called me by my name right away. I still remember the profound impact it had on me,it activated something within me,i vowed i would always take care of my grandmother to the best of my ability .The Dr. Wanted my Grandmother to be placed in a nursing HOME but she refused, so the Dr. suggested we trained to take care of her at home. From then on I knew that I was called to do this work,helping others like my Grandmother. We all became nurses because we loved and respected her so much, my Grandmother passed 8yrs later,but we all made sure that it was the most loving, respectful, most dignified time before she passed. Needless to say when she passed, we were all surrounding her with all our love and gratitudes. She died with a BIG smile on her face, I always remember that smile and in my work I aim to inspire all my patients to smile .My Grandmother's illness became a blessing for my family and me,I would love the opportunity to assist and share my blessing with your family in the most caring, compsssionate and loving manner. Thank YOU. Heather.
