About John

Just retiring but have special skills that are derived from my previous work history in Aging Programs and Environmental Protection programs in Idaho. Smart, savvy, physically able to work with diverse groups of individuals with a variety of physical and mental challenges. I currently work with a young man in the Boise area with epilepsy providing personal care support 4 days per week during daytime hours. It is a good fit for me as I am very aware of his needs and work with him and his family to give him the care and attention he deserves and needs. I have also been a direct care giver for my father (five years) as he suffered with dementia towards the end of his life. I provided assistance with grooming, toileting, medications, meal preparations, errands, shopping, doctor visits, and general companionship. I am very aware of the affects of dementia on not only the individual but the impact on families and all who are affected. I am punctual, loyal, neat and well-organized. Call me and we can discuss your needs and see how we can makes things work. I am adaptable and very cordial.
