About Cynthia

For the past two years I would help with my elderly Grandmother when her part-time care giver was not there. I would help with the smallest of tasks like cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. To the more challenging thinks, like using the bathroom or talking a shower. I have to young sons ages 6 and 9 and I would bring them with every chance I got. They loved going to see Great Grandma. After her passing at 94, I would always tell the how lucky they were that they had this time with there Great Grandma. Before this I was a Nanny for the same family for almost 10 years. We are still extremely close. Currently I'm looking for something with flexible hours 9-3 M-F preferably, only because I do have to take my young ones to the bus stop and pick them up. My weekends usually revolve around sports. I have been background checked by U46, District 303 and I9 Sports. I have a great driving record. I use to be a CNA many moons ago. I'm fit, I work out 6 days a week. I love to talk. And I love animals. I'm a non-smoker, but smoking does not bother me.

It has been my privilege to lovingly care for elderly people with dementia, starting with my mother-in-law. I enjoy entering their world and showing them the dignity, respect and gentle care our elders should have. I have become the trusted companion of each person I’ve cared for, and have served several of them for years at a time. Support for the family of the person I am companion to is a special part of my ministry. I am currently a part-time seminary student and simply love people. My desire is to bring joy and wisdom in caregiving to those I serve.
