About Ivy

I became a caregiver because I truly feel it is my calling to help others in need. I cherish each of my patients and treat them as if each one was related to me. I am kind, gentle, conscientious, hard-working, honest, meticulous and caring in my attention to my patients. Each family I have helped over the years has come to love and cherish me, as I have them. I am honored and proud to make a difference in my patient's lives, My last patient of 4 years recently passed away and I am now ready to help someone else. I have almost 25 years of caregiving experience in both private homes and facilities, but prefer at-home care to be able to provide each patient with the best possible care they can get. It is my honor to help each and every patient and their families through their times of need. I truly CARE. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Took care of an elderly woman who had suffered a major stroke, and who was partially paralyzed and unable to speak. She recently passed away and I was with her and her daughters when she passed. I promised her I would be there with her to the end, and I was. I grew to love her as if she was my own mother.

    My name is Simone A. I am an experienced CNA of 14 years. I have gained my experience through working in nursing homes, assisted living, and private homes. The majority of my work has been caring for the elderly. My favorite part of working with seniors is being able to help them through things they're no longer able to do. I think it's very important for people to feel comfortable around those who are caring for them and giving them help. I love creating a connection with those that I work with, so that they feel comfortable allowing me to aid them in everyday activities. It's not easy putting things that you were once able to do into other people's hands. I like to be someone that they can trust to do those things without making them feel helpless.
