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.

My name is Joe Shepard and I have been a stay-at-home father for the past 10 years. During that time, I have been working part-time at Companions and Homemakers. I decided to go in this field because I took care of my parents for awhile and I saw firsthand the struggles they went through on a daily basis. After seeing that, I wanted to be part of someone's life and be able to help them and make their life a little easier. I consider myself to be a very patient, understanding, and caring person and it brings great joy and satisfaction to me that I am able to help another person when they need assistance. I am not certified for personal care but I have done jobs where I will do errands, clean the house, make lunches, drive to appointments, and just someone to provide companionship so the person has someone to talk to and not feel lonely during the day. If you are looking for someone to help you or a loved one, please feel free to get in touch with me as I am looking for part-time hours during the week and I am willing to help out as much as I can. Thanks!
