About Gerda

Also educated in early childhood development, I felt very comfortable and drawn to seniors and started working as caregiver in 1995. From there I worked as CNA in nursing home in Germany. When our facility opened a memory care I was selected and given classes in dementia and Alzheimer care. I worked in memory care in Germany until 2009 when I moved to Savannah GA. My last job in the US I was a medication manager in a personal care home until we moved to Hawaii last month. In my free time I love spending time outside, love hiking, running, swimming and now snorkeling.

I've been blessed by having a lot of patience and understanding when taking care of people. I am lucky to have a genuine spirit and truthfully enjoy taking care of the elderly. I appreciate them for their candor, their wisdom and their gentle and sometimes brazen spirit. I don't treat them like infants. I treat them like the treasured mature adults they are and speak to them like people. I am so proud that several of the family members I have worked for have told me "My Mom/Dad loves you." We thank God for you". Never get tired of hearing it.....it's what gets me out of bed in the morning ready to tackle a new and rewarding day in my career as a trusted caregiver.
