About Summer

Hello! My name is Summer and I am laid back in personality, but very attentive and helpful. I am careful to mold to the patient and familys' dynamics and needs. I love getting to know the people I care for. My greatest accomplishment is taking an interest in the music my previous client played professionally for 30 years, but had lost his ability to play years ago due to illness. Because I listened to his music with him and was willing to reminisce with him, he felt like he'd gained a piece of that partof his life back and began sharing his love of music with his children again before he passed. I enjoy every minute spent with a patient, I love caring for them. I love cooking, cleaning, being their arms and legs, and helping them feel as normal as possible. I am constantly looking for ways to help, to go above and beyond.

Hello! My name is Summer I have spent the better part of the past 10 years teaching my kids at home, at ABLE Homeschooling Co-Op, and running a youth group out of my home. Now that my girls are entering high school I am looking for a way to put my heart and the skills I've acquired over the years to good use. Teaching at home has given me the unique ability to have unending patience and self guided diligence to go along with my many care taking abilities. I am relationship oriented and its my desire to build up and strengthen the heart with encouragement, just as much as it is to provide for the physical needs of those I care for. I will give the same level of care that I do for my own parents and family and am ready to dive in with support, to help, and go the extra mile in every possible way for you. I have experience in caring for people with Parkinsons, Diabetes and Dementia. I have done Blood pressure and blood sugar taking and tracking, medication management, insulin injections, walking and bathroom assistance, help with end of life, feeding, dressing, cooking and cleaning. My greatest asset is my ability to provide companionship, because this is more than a job to me, it's what I was born to do.

My career was in business. I retired at a young age. I went into the health care industry from a suggestion of a relative who worked at a large local hospital. I worked there for 6 years and cared for hundreds of patients each having different illnesses. This background caused me to decide I would like to become an independent provider due to my experience. I particularly enjoy caring for elderly men with dementia. What I've found is their long term memories are interesting and have heard interesting stories especially from WWll veterans. I try to become "part of the family" with each patient. I try my best to help each patient maintain their dignity, be comforting, gain their confidence provide friendship and assure a safe environment. In all my past working experiences caregiving is my most satisfying.
