About Clare

I enjoy caring for others. It is very personally rewarding. I have an Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting. Of course my children and grandchildren are my greatest achievements. I am the sole support of my very athletic 14 year old son. I have a grown daughter whom I also raised on my own and 5 beautiful little granddaughters with whom I love spending time. I am one of nine children with many nieces, nephews and two adorable grand nephews. I worked with the elderly for many ,many years and learned so much about the field and the many people I took care of. I enjoy the elderly population very much.

    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.

    I had am elder grandmother who was 110 years whom I used take care of back way home, she was really too old and couldn't do everything by her self that inspired me in becoming a care giver because I knew I care do it better. I really like what am doing of being a care giver because it became part of me.I like helping with ADLs , being a companion to other people I got alot of experience for the years I have been working as a care giver and I believe am a good person someone can trust.
