About B S Ballard

I became a caregiver as a career move from high stress hospital administration to something more compatible with my nature. I have made it my career aspiration to care for the elderly. When one cannot do for oneself any longer, or any stage of compromise, I can come in to assist in their activities of daily life. If it were my life and I needed assistance, that's the kind of care I endeavor to deliver. I am proud of my ability to read the needs of people and articulate what they cannot. I recently had a hiking injury and at the present time will not escort folks around with a guiding hand under their arm. [I currently use a cane and/or walker for mobility.] HOWEVER ! I am a great cook and remind folks to take their medications. I drive a Honda Fit and live in Cambridge. Please do call and make an appointment to meet me. I would love to be your new care giver.

My first job, at age 10, was summer companion to my maternal grandmother. Working for the family matriarch required abundant labor (my grandmother was elderly), but the daily chores gave rise to an unexpected pleasure; I liked being responsible. For 12 lovely summers, I cleared the acorns from her croquet court, hiked to the store to buy her groceries, and delivered her (she did not drive) by rowboat to tea at the homes of neighbors. Within the formality of her cottage, I learned to be a responsible member of a household. And whether I felt like it or not, I learned to be good company. Still under my grandmother's spell, I have worked as a lady's companion and as a gentleman's secretary for more than 20 years. Although I am no longer gathering acorns, I accompany my employers on their travels, keep them company at cultural events, edit their memoirs, and teach them them how to draw and paint. I have found these employments to be congenial and remunerative. They give me great pleasure.
