About Kelly

I have a lot of experience working with the elderly, primarily dementia/Alzheimer folks, and most recently, hospice care.. I have a passion for the elderly... they have so much to offer and I find myself learning from them constantly. My experience ranges from visiting Pete in the nursing home to keep him engaged to completely caring for Elvira or Nick, helping them carry out their ADL's. I am comfortable with feeding, bathroom care, bathing and transporting. I am more than willing to provide meal preparation, house cleaning and taking to run errands or doctor's appointments, Dispensing meds is also something I'm very comfortable with. You will be very pleased if you choose me to help with your loved one.

Experience & Education

Caregiver

Aug 2014 - Present
Brett Roethemeyer
I am currently a caregiver to a 25 year old girl with the diagnosis of moderate mental retardation and cerebral palsy. I am entering my 5th year with her and we have created an unbelievable bond. Tessa is amazing! I pick her up every morning at 8am and bring her home at 4 or 5, depending on the day. We fill our day with games, reading and many outings. She is normally a very good girl yet sometimes she becomes combative. I calm her down with lots of hugs and laying out consequences. She is verbal (she talks non-stop LOL) and is extremely high functioning. My employers completely trust me with their daughter and would ensure you that I'm an exceptional caregiver.
