About Lisa

I have been helping people my whole life ever since I was a little girl. I had a very close relationship with both of my grandma's. I used to go food shopping with them both. I always helped carry the groceries inside and put them away. I also learned how to clean from them and helped when I could. Every chance I had to spend time with each of them, I took the chance to learn from them and loved them more and more everyday. Through them, I also learned to help my neighbors who were also elderly and needed some extra help with things. I am a wife and mother for over 10 years now and have helped my family many times when they weren't well. I took care of my grandfather part-time as well for 3 years before his passing this year. I believe that I am an amazing caregiver because I listen to the needs of the person I'm caring for and help them feel better not only through physical care but by being positive and making their spirit happy too. I give them comfort by knowing they are not alone and that I truly care about them. I have an extremely big heart and want to share it with people who need me. Caring for people, of all ages, is what I know how to do best.

Home Health Aid/Caregiver

Jan 2014 - Dec 2018
Private Home Health Aid
I started caring for an elderly woman part-time by running errands, going food shopping , writing out checks for bills and mailing them at the post office. Then, I did light house cleaning. In the last year, I was offered a full-time position by the family. I cooked, near the end fed her, bathed and changed her daily, filled her medication box weekly and gave her the meds several times a day with meals, helped her walk with a walker from the bed to her wheelchair and to the toilet and vice versa. I was also a companion for her. We had many conversations over the years and built a loving relationship towards one another. She will forever remain in my heart and I will miss her dearly.
