About Amy

I have dedicated my career to social work and helping others. I am outgoing and use humor often. I am flexible and rarely get over excited about conflicts or people raising their voice. I have a calming voice tone and am an active listener. I am creative and like to do all sorts of crafts or coloring. I find it's a good stress relief. I help care for an elderly couple now which I do as volunteer work since they are like family. I find the addition of cleaning, organizing, and being a companion very rewarding. I enjoy seeing that I have made a difference and have been able to make someone smile. I am proud of the success stories that I have been lucky to be part of over the years. I am fortunate that some of the families who have had success maintain contact with from time to time in addition to sending pictured. This is just priceless.

Hello my name is Leslie. I have been a caregiver for 8 years, I started my journey with group home care with the mental disabled. Two years later I started elderly home care, making sure the elderly get a chance to stay in their own homes where they are comfortable is my pleasure. Taking care of the elderly is something I truly enjoy, letting them know they are not alone one day at a time. I can provide many different types of care, depending on the individuals needs. In 2016 I started my own LLC with the hopes of being able to provide more help to families by caring for their elderly family members. I have cared for indivduals in a wide age range and with many different funtion ability levels. No person is the same, I make a care plan to fit the indivduals needs. I like too keep the family as informed as I can about any changed I may see with thier loved one. I am elderly CPR / First aid and AED certified.

I became a caregiver in 2006 my first client was my grandmother when she needed full time care. That's when I knew that caring for people in need was my calling. I love making lasting relationships with my clients making them feel independent and also giving them a peace of mind. A personal achievement of mine is very simple I love when my clients feel loved by me and look forward to seeing me that drives them to want to accomplish daily activities for themselves. I am a very dependable and simple woman I love giving back to others and helping people comes natural to me. I love cooking, being a companion, organizing, uplifting and inspiring people and much more.
