About Muneerah

I became a caregiver when a close friend needed help and he did have anyone. I moved my friend who was 88 at the time into my home. This was a six year relationship, where cared for him through major heart surgery and beginning alzheimers. He passed away peacefully at age 94. He had no living relatives. I enjoy seniors because we can learn alot from them, they are not bothered by things and they lived a simpler life. I enjoy hearing their stories. I am proud to have taken care of my friend who became a member of my family. I met another lady in new york and I helped her to be able to die at home. She had no one. The things I learned in the short four and a half years that lived and cared for her will be with me the rest of my life. I did not realize that I would become so attached to her. She became just like my mother who passed away in 2004. I will always remember her and the things she said to me. About myself, I am 58 this week, and after years in direct sales, I think that I enjoy caring for people and so this is what I want to do. My goal is to make someone smile and feel wanted. Each day try to make their day brighter no matter what their disability is.

    My name is Arlette, My journey working with seniors started when I cared for my grandmother when she needed the help about 10 years ago. After that I noticed I enjoyed caring for the elderly and spending time with them. I love listening to their stories and learning from their experiences. I see them and treat them as my family. I like to help them get the best quality of life under their circumstances. I feel a sense of accomplishment every time it's time for me to leave their house and they have a smile on their faces. That lets me know they are happy and feel safe under my care. I have worked with people suffering from different illness like: Alzheimer's and dementia, cancer, hospice, C Diff. I like to have a good and close relationship with my client's families and work together with them. I can provide letters of recommendation if they are needed.
