About Pamela

Hi! I am 57 years old and a mother of 4 and grandmother of 11 children. My family lives in Illinois and I live here with my husband. I am a caring and empathetic person whom cares in a persons well being and needs. I recently took care of a room mate who came down with brain cancer and ended up taking care of her for 3 years until her loving son took her to Maryland for her final days. I have worked part time at a corporate restaurant locally for the past 7 1/2 years as well. I am looking for other part time work being a caregiver as I enjoy doing this!

Deborah McCambridge
I took care of Deb part time after she learned of her brain cancer diagnoses. I lived with her and her fiancee' and he took care of her during the day while I was at my other job. When taking care of Deb she required meal preparation, med distribution, transfer from chair to portable potty and back to chair, emptying and cleaning bed pans, light housecleaning, bed baths and hair and nail grooming. I would take her blood pressure when needed as I have my own cuff. I would sit with her and be her friend while her significant other had errands to run. I made her comfortable mentally and physically as best as I could.

After taking care of mum and dad after a bad road accident I realised how good and strong I am. I love the rewarding effect after giving so much love and passion to a sick or elderly person and the smile they offer you is I believe a sign of appreciation . I nursed my parents back to health for 8 yrs. Am very patient, caring,loving and a good listener. Love my work. Continued the same care for different great families in the USA for over 15 yrs. Have great references.
