Hello I'm Paula! I am a kind, positive, and compassionate person with a great sense of humor and thankfully, common sense. I am a solutions minded person and aim to make both my clients & their families feel their loved one is getting the very best from me. I grew up a Navy brat and have been a Florida naive since 1983. I'm a mother of two adult ladies and my fur boy Bowie, a Jack Russell mix, who rescued me. I'm always creative, love plants, good food and the beach. I retired from a 30 year graphic design career due to medical reasons in 2020. My caregiving experience happened by accident, when a close family friend needed help. He had suffered a stroke and recently lost his wife. I was in between jobs at the time so I began visiting him a couple times a week. Mr Jack turned into the grandad I never had. Fast forward to 2023 where I began my second career of caregiving. It truly matches my strengths and feels good to do meaningful work. I say it all the time - I love what I do! So much so, I started my own caregiving business, TrustCare LLC, hoping to help people care for their loved ones, pets, plants and property.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
