About Judy

My passion is caring for Seniors and helping them live independently with pride and always trying to put a smile on their face. I believe that my compassion, empathy and positive attitude have helped me become a great caregiver. I have vast experience with Seniors assisting them with daily activities including eating, dressing and grooming as well as participating in positive conversation, playing board games or doing puzzles, accompanying them to appointments or outdoor activity, running errands, preparing meals and providing both physical and emotional support. I enjoy being a caregiver because it is very rewarding to know that I am able to help people in need of companionship and independence with daily living. The personal achievement I am most proud of is that I was able to give my mom the life she always wanted before she passed on. She always had a smile on her face and that is what I'd love to do for others.
