About NZINGA SHELIAH

Hello! My name is Nzinga, and I have a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy from Husson University in Bangor, Maine. My background in OT gives me a strong foundation in helping individuals safely maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life at home. My care goes beyond just assisting -- I focus on safety, comfort, mobility, and maintaining dignity. I understand the challenges families face when caring for a loved one recovering from surgery, dealing with dementia, or adjusting to new physical limitations. With me, you're getting more than a caregiver -- you're getting someone who can recognize early signs of health decline, assist with home safety, and offer therapeutic companionship. Specialties: * Fall prevention & safe mobility * Stroke recovery support * Dementia care & calm redirection * Gentle, respectful personal care (bathing, grooming, toileting) * Daily routines that promote independence * Light housekeeping, meal prep, errands I am CPR/First Aid certified, fully background-checked, and available for: * Hourly shifts * Overnight care
