About Janet

I am an artists with a lot of passions in life. I enjoy hiking, ballroom and salsa dancing, skiing, fishing, gardening, nature, games, music, photography, plays and musicals. I am getting close to my BA in fine arts. I really enjoyed Cultural Anthropology, Philosophy, Ethics, Biology, in fact I love College. I love all animals! After breast cancer and other life hardships, I have realized the important things in life are about people, relationships and love. I understand how it feels to feel helpless and to need help, how it feels to live in fear, depression, and letting go. My own personal experience gives me a unique perspective for understanding those who are experiencing loss in one form or another. It has increased my level of compassion and empathy. Because of this I have done well as a caregiver. With each new person I look for what helps make them feel safe and secure along with what they look forward each day. Also I pay attention to when to be quiet, when to give them their quiet time, when to listen. I love to bring smiles and laughter and I love to love. Domestic: I do not do a sloppy job in cleaning and don't mind yard work or poop scooping. I have knowledge of healthy cooking and can follow any recipe. Health Conditions: I am very good with medication reminders and have worked with various health conditions. I have experience with transfers, dressing, bathing, help with physical therapy exercise. Availability: I can work part time to full time and over nigh

    Daughter in Law

    Family
    I have experience taking care of my sick mother in law who had dementia and other health conditions who also did not speak very good English. It was difficult at first; I had no understanding of what Dementia was and how to take care of someone who suffered from it. I had to give her medication, help her with her IV’s and help her with her peace of mind. She was paranoid and thought everyone was stealing from her, and had other delusions too. t took a while to bridge our lack of communication, I learned a little bit of Portuguese and she improved her English. I took care of her for off and on for about 3 years. I became better at cutting down the amount of episodes she would have. I am happy to say that the last time I took care of her she did not have one episode, she was smiling and peaceful.
