I have 14 years of experience as a caregiver, 9 of which I was being paid for. My career in caregiving started when I took care of my grandmother for 5 years who had Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. I have a multitude of experience with certain chronic conditions as well as hospice care, Alzheimer's/dementia care, and I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified. I am available for overnight shifts and some afternoons. I welcome the opportunity to take care of your love one and will treat them as if they are part of my family.
