About Jennifer

I have worked with seniors for over seventeen years. I was fortunate to grow up taking care of the sick seniors in my family. I grew up loving seniors because my parents had me late in life and my environment was surrounded with the elderly. I love the wisdom, the stories from the past ,and getting history lessons first hand. Skills are companionship ,seizures, meal preparation, medication management, feeding, bathing, dressing, light housekeeping, Alzheimer, post surgery recovery. High-energy and self motivated, well organized, and hard working professional providing support and direct care services to individuals who need a helping hand, My favorite personal achievement is seeing the gleam in a sick person's eyes.
