About Elizabeth

A- ask L- listen O- observe H- help A- ask again Caregiving isn't only about feeding, clothing or cleaning. It's also having an understanding of how to navigate a sometimes complicated relationship between the ones who give care and the ones who are in need of it. Caregiving can be challenging. All I can do is keep a positive attitude. I'm a people person and I've always enjoyed helping others, even when it infringed on my personal life. It's just part of my nature. I started caregiving somewhat by accident when I assisted an elderly neighbor living alone after her mentally challenged son passed away. After that, my father-in-law with dementia came to stay with us for a short time and I took care of him for about a month. It was an afterthought, but that prompted me to do this as a career because it seemed like a natural fit for me. I became a professional caregiver in 2014 and have worked privately and with a number of agencies. I know the importance of good quality care and respect. My elderly father passed away years ago and I have an aging mother. When the time comes, I would want her to be cared for by someone such as myself. I have an enormous amount of patience, so I can handle the stress that goes along with this type of care. I was the second oldest of 5 brothers and sisters. I raised my daughter and helped with my four grandchildren and now have two great grandchildren, so I have a lot of experience giving care, changing diapers, feeding, bathing and dealing with all types of conflict. Every aspect of a caregiver. The only difference is the size of the person. Smile! I'm currently open to discussing any caregiving situation. My rate is negotiable. I have had all of my certificates as well as a physical/TB test. I've also been cleared on a level 2 (FBI) background check, in the past, which allowed me to work in this field with agencies. As I've been away from this work for a while, I will be renewing everything, as needed.

Elizabeth arrived and got me to all my appointments on time. She was very caring and professional as she assisted me with my post-op care. I highly recommended Elizabeth to care for you or your loved one.

I BECAME A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I ENJOY PROVIDING CARE-GIVING SERVICES TO THOSE THAT CANNOT DO FOR THEMSELVES OR NEED ASSISTANCE. ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED HELPING PEOPLE SO I KNOW I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING. BEING A CAREGIVER GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE IN PEOPLE LIVES BY HELPING THEM AND MAKING THEM BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU. I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT I'VE HELPED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER BEFORE SHE PASSED. I SPECIFICALLY BECAME A CAREGIVER SO I CAN BE CERTIFIED AT WHAT I DO BEST.

I became a caregiver 12 years ago after my grandmother had a stroke. It was then that I truly realized my purpose. So I decided to leave the corporate workplace and pursue work in the home health care field. I love making a difference in the life of another human being. All people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect no matter what. I practice honesty, loyalty and gratefulness. I'm extremely organized, clean, patient and professional. I come to work each shift with a smile on my face looking forward to seeing, listening to and caring for my client. I'm always considerate of the fact I'm in the clients home and therefore respectful of their space. Time spent there is productive and valued. I'm devoted to living a healthy lifestyle which means preparing and eating quality foods. Exercise is so important as well along with sunshine and fresh air. Of course all in moderation and different for each case. I look forward to meeting the family members and those closest to the client. I will accommodate the client according to their wishes. I strive to make our time together pleasurable and comforting. Thank you!
