About Anita

I have been a caregiver for almost 10 years now. Being a caregiver for me personally is very rewarding. I believe one trait that helps me be a great caregiver is patience. What attracted me to being a caregiver is one of my life-long friends suggested working in the field to me. She told me, you're always so compassionate and helping other people, you should get a job where you could do just that. And so I did!

Good Morning! I am Patti a 52 year old(young) honest, friendly, caring, compassionate, patient, attentive, non-smoking/drugging woman who is ready, willing, and able to help you when you need it! For the past 9 years I was a Personal Caregiver for a 98 year old elderly woman with errands, paperwork, Dr. appointments,and grocery shopping. I also helped an elderly man in his 80's with Parkinson's for 1 1/2 years. During that time I was responsible for medication management, wound care, bathing, personal grooming, dressing, meal prep, feeding if needed, house cleaning, and laundry. I have been certified here from The Care Academy for being a Professional Caregiver, Preventing Falls In Older Adults, and 5 different categories for Alzheimer's and Dementia . I currently drive an elderly woman with Dementia to Daycare 2 days per week her daughter hired me, and gave me a 5-star rating on care.com so I have excellent references. Thank you, I look forward to helping you soon!
