About Barbara

I am extremely compassionate, gentle, highly reliable and trustworthy. I started my career in geriatric caregiving after assisting my own Mom, who had vascular dementia. I realized I enjoyed caring for elderly persons. I have a great sense of humor, am educated and articulate and knowledgable about dementia (all types and phases). I have maintained lasting bonds with families of loved ones I have cared for and can provide excellent references. I enjoy bringing some joy into the lives of elderly persons and I take pride in my work. I have often stayedbeyond the hours I am paid for to make sure those in my care are comfortable. I also am very attuned to any changes in cognitive or physical issues with those in my care and attend to those concerns immediately.
