I am a very compassionate and patient caregiver with 17 years of experience helping to care for individuals with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. I began providing care when a close friend of mine needed help caring for her sick mother. I worked with this sweet lady for seven and a half years in which I refined my caregiving skills. The bond that I build with all of my clients is unmistakably genuine and sweet. Over my career I have cared for 15 different people and each one of them and the experiences that we have shared has helped to enrich my ability to care for the next one. I am also a proud mother of two wonderful children and that in itself speaks volume about my ability to care for others. I truly care for my clients as if they were a part of my own family.

I am a mother of 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren. I am a loving, compassionate caregiver and love working with the elderly and helping people. I learn so much from them and my experiences with them. Each experience with each client is fulfilling to me and my life as I look forward. I enjoy their company and treasure my time with them and their experiences as well as my own. Before I started working as a caregiver, I cared for family members, my father and my father in law. I come from a family of caregivers . Nearly all the women in my family are caregivers. I personally have loved all the people I have worked with and cared for. And those that have departed, I miss dearly. They were such wonderful people. I really do enjoy my work and the people I work with. I'm skillful and very observant and can adapt to any setting and situation. I have received training throughout my years as a caregiver from agencies and that I have worked for, as well as on the job learning and gaining valuable skills in working with the variety of clients that I have worked with and other professionals such as therapists, nurses, doctors, hospice staff and aids. I have great references and letters of recommendations from all my clients as I keep a portfolio in remembrance of them. I've worked throughout the East Bay, South Bay and SF bay area. I do both live-in and live-out and my rates are negotiable.

I became a caregiver because I knew that I have a gift to give others who are in need of love, care and compassion. Compassion, trust and honesty are my gifts. They cannot be obtained through education. What I like being a caregiver is to see that the client is always happy and improving day by day. A personal achievement I am proud of is to see that the client trusts and accepts me as his or her best friend. I am compassionate, patient, kind, loving and punctual as people write about me in my references. With these qualities I prefer that people tell others of me rather than I tell others. I respect others privacy and I am a very low profile person. I believe in trust and honesty as the best policy. I do take care of both male and female seniors/clients. You can trust me.

I am a very nurturing and kind person. I am very sensitive to the physical and emotional needs of those around me, very empathetic, gentle, good sense of humor. Treating people with respect is very important to me and I know it is to you as well. Most recently, for over a year, I worked with 2 female clients. One client is 98 with visual and hearing impairments, diabetes and mild dimentia. I was responsible for taking daily glucose readings, keeping records of her medical data/appointments/medication dispensing. I cooked her a hearty breakfast and we ate together. I introduced her to a game called "WordCross" and she loved to play every day with me. It was great for her mind and was a good social experience as well. Another client had early stage Alzheimers, but was highly functional. I provided companionship, meal preparation for her and her husband, fixed her hair, walked outside with her, did their grocery shopping, and occasionally we enjoyed shopping/lunch trips together. I have additional experience working with clients that have terminal cancer. I not only met their specific physical needs, but created an environment for them which brought them comfort and peace during the most difficult time of their lives. What made me most aware of the needs of seniors was when my own grandmother was near the end of her life. I helped her daily with dressing, grooming, feeding, and eventually accompanied her through her last days in hospice. I understand how important it is for families to feel confident that their loved one is being treated with gentleness and respect. I want to help seniors to have the best quality of life possible. I look forward to visiting with you to see how I could help meet the needs of your loved one, Amy
