About Rebecca

I have been told that I am a great encourager. With being a caregiver, sometimes, all it takes is a little encouragement, to go a long way. My attraction to wanting to become a caregiver, goes way back to when I was 9 years old. I was adopted by older parents (58 and 63). As I grew older, at age 12, I became interested in visiting an elderly neighbor. I would ride my bike to her house just because of her cool stories of her childhood, (and she provided cookies.) Little did I know, that my attraction to being a caregiver was already in the making of who I was meant to be as an adult. She even sent me a card in the mail and it stated I was her "favorite person." That meant SO MUCH to me! The only thing I can think of about something I'm proud of achieving would be when I worked in Customer Care at a gym, and the owners gave me a "Loving People Award." Other than that, just the simple fact that my two children have grown up to become upstanding, fine adults and are parents, themselves. So watching them figure things out as adults, makes me feel so proud of them.

I organized kitchen cabinets, hallway linen closet, made bed, and cleaned up his two bathrooms, kitchen, living and dining rooms, and office. He also requested that I kept him company watching a few mystery tv shows.

Self Help For The Elderly

I was in a private home, taking care of a male resident, who suffered from a stroke. I had to learn that a "pencil" meant a car, and "the spring" meant the basement. I cooked and ate meals with him, did his laundry, washed his dishes, helped him shave. We also went on walks because at that time, he was still able to get around independently, and watched a few of his favorite game shows.
