About Julie

I have spent 27 years as a caregiver. I am a special education teacher and have taught/taken care of infants, preschoolers, K-12 and most recently my elderly father who was very frail with Dementia. I took him out of a full time care facility in CA to have him live with us on our farm here in KY. His favorite thing to do was to help feed the animals or socialize our animal babies. I thrive when taking care of others and I absolutely loved taking care of my dad, even though he wasn't necessarily the same dad that I knew growing up. He was very vulnerable and self conscious about his difficulties and I did everything I could to make him feel like we needed him here to help on the farm.

Experience & Education

Full Time 24/7 Caregiver

Jun 2021 - Mar 2022
self employed caregiver
We moved my 75 year old dad out here with us from CA. He was suffering from dementia, along with repeated falls, accidents, etc. that kept putting him into the hospital and eventually into full time nursing facility in CA. He lived with us in our home. I made his meals, helped him dress, helped him with hygiene and bathing. I was organizing his medications and giving him lots of tasks to do to help keep him busy, so he could feel useful. Always keeping an eye on him as he tended to wander off, forgetting where he was going or what he was doing. He passed away from pneumonia in March.
