About Jennifer

What brought my attention to caregiving was my youngest son always needing medical care for the first 8 years of his life. After traveling in and out of state for medical treatment and spending a large amount of time with other families, I realized that there are not enough people helping those medically in need. Often times we take for granted the value behind companionship, mobility, and everyday care. I want to be that person who can enter someone's life, lend them a hand, and make them smile! No one should feel alone or helpless.

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.

I'am a patient, kind, caring knowledgeable Caregiver with 11 year's worth of experience.I'am a certified Medical Assistant (MA). The reason I've wanted to be a caregiver is because I believe that every person's life is valuable and deserves special care. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that I can help others live a quality life. My most personal achievement that I'am proud of is finishing school to become a Medical Assistant.
