Hello! My name is Holly Hull. I am a retired 20-yr corporate marketing/communications professional, who has chosen private in-home caregiving as my "second act." In 2008-2009, my parents were diagnosed with cancer, and my 14-yr journey as a caregiver began. I learned a lot about the caregiving industry during this time; and saw a real need for patient, compassionate, reliable and trustworthy care. I am a firm believer in customized care that caters to the patient's needs, personality, likes and dislikes. For example, my current patient does not like water on her face, so I brought in a waterproof visor that keeps water out of her face during showering. Truly, the role of caregiving is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I have helped patients navigate terminal illnesses, such as cancer and alzheimer's. My current patient is an early-onset Alzheimers patient, who was diagnosed at age 49. I have been with her and her family for 4 yrs; caring for the patient, as well as her two girls, in areas their mother could no longer assist. With their oldest daughter attending college this fall, the family has decided to move to be closer to her. Hence, why I am looking for my next patient. I find the role of caregiving an impactful way to "give back" and help others in need.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
