About Yvonne

I became a Care giver because my Domestic partner contacted a rare muscle disease called Polymyositus in 2001. He was bed-ridden for three years. Now he is able to walk with limited physical abilities. While taking care of him I also cared for my Parents 2004 to 2008. Dad had heart failure and kidney failure and diabeties. My Mom had Dementia and Diabeties. They both passed away in 2008. In 2011 my clients best friend called me to ask if I would care for his mother. She had Dementia and High Blood pressure. She was a Fiesty 97 years young woman. But I won her over with patience, kindness and lots of love. From 4/2011 to 4/2016. I love taking care of the elderly with compassion and kindness and patience. Have 15 years experience.

I love being a caregiver taking care of the individual that can and can't perform their daily activities, that's why I'm there to help.. I Iook on the bright side of things and try to bring joy to a persons life. I have taken care of a lady and her husband for 5 yrs. she had dementia, bipolar disorder and sun downer, I handled that situation with patients problem solving and trying to keep everyone happy. After her husband died I was their for support, companionship. I didn't hover over her - I gave her space but was near by to keep her safe.. I love learning new things about people. It's a great achievement to help out the family with their loved ones. I don't have a problem with taking the person on errands, Dr. appointments with my car or theirs. I like to take walks with the person I'm taking care of, wheelchair or walker. When I'm not care giving I like to read books, walk and go hiking..And catch up with friends.. My recent work has been taking care of a person that is bed ridden with MS and uses a hoyer.
