About Paul

I am reliable, punctual and professional. I haved decided to move into the caregiver field because I have been providing care to my family over the past several years as well as to supplement my income because I have three children. I returned back home to care for my family as they were experiencing the following; mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease/Leukemia about three years ago, she is 91 years old now, my 50 year old sister has Down's Syndrome with a variety of health issues as well as mobility challenges and my father just passed 1/18/18 at 91 years old from cancer. My youngest sister and I took care of our father in the last stage of his life, then we decided to call in hospice. The nurse was fantastic and instructed us on his medication needs, cleaning and emotional support. We cared for him until his last breath without assistance from anyone else but the nurse.

I became a caregiver because of my parents in need of care...During a 36+year period I have worked as a caregiver/home-care aide also assisted caring for my parents until they departed. I was taught to honor thy mother/ father and respect others at a young age... I have completed and passed a C.N.A. course 19+years ago and have worked in nursing homes,skilled facilities and rehab centers as a rehab assistant for quite sometime now...What I do in making a difference in helping others has always been a joyous experience. I hope I can be an assistant to you. If not I hope you find the help and support that's needed for you and or your family.
