About Denise

I love being a caregiver taking care of the individual that can and can't perform their daily activities, that's why I'm there to help.. I Iook on the bright side of things and try to bring joy to a persons life. I have taken care of a lady and her husband for 5 yrs. she had dementia, bipolar disorder and sun downer, I handled that situation with patients problem solving and trying to keep everyone happy. After her husband died I was their for support, companionship. I didn't hover over her - I gave her space but was near by to keep her safe.. I love learning new things about people. It's a great achievement to help out the family with their loved ones. I don't have a problem with taking the person on errands, Dr. appointments with my car or theirs. I like to take walks with the person I'm taking care of, wheelchair or walker. When I'm not care giving I like to read books, walk and go hiking..And catch up with friends.. My recent work has been taking care of a person that is bed ridden with MS and uses a hoyer.

Dick Reiten
I took care of Mr. Reitens' Mother Ruth Reiten. She was on Hospice but able to due some daily activities and exercise at first. I would get her meals at the facility she lived at. She loved Baseball and the outdoors so when not watching baseball I would put her sunglasses and sun hat on then wheel her down outside to enjoy visiting with people, and I would read to her. Near the end of life she was bed bound so I would feed her, turn her from side to side, assist hopice with bathing her, and make her laugh..

I am a naturally caring person, who was raised by my grandparents, so I love and understand the elderly. I love hearing the stories of the past. I love getting to know the families and people involved in their lives. People are important and every person has value and a story to tell! I helped to take care of my grandmother as she was aging and I look back on that time w fond memories. Helping others stay in their home. Making someones life just a little bit easier can have great rewards. I took religion is college, of which I have 3 yrs. I have raised two children, and have been involved in my church over the years. I am now helping to raise two of my grandchildren which I adore! I am faithful and loyal, kind and gentle to others. I am honest and trustworthy.I love gardening, my grandchildren, and nature and all animals, especially cats and horses. In my younger years I was a CNA for about 10 years. Then helped my husband in the restaurant business for quite a few years, then went into janitorial at Hood River High Sch for awhile. I now have an additional 7 yrs (?) in caring for others. I love people! Now that I am a little older, I am enjoying taking care of the elderly and have a good understanding for what they need. I have been doing so for a number (10?) of years. I am a pretty easy going person to wk with.
