About Dave

I have been a caregiver for my 91 year old mother for over 10 years. She is an insulin defendant diabetic, so I prepare her medicines, test her blood glucose, administer her insulin, and any other medical treatments. I also prepare her meals, laundry, house clean and any other normal daily duties. Prior to moving to Florida for my mother, I served as a District Chaplin and District Commander of the Sons of the American Legion. I am a certified Hypnotist and semi professional entertainer.

    Hello, I am Rebecca. I have been a care giver all my life. Working as a Dental Assistant for 15 years and becoming a Volunteer Fire woman.I had the privilege of taking care of my late Uncle and my late Mother-in-law. My uncle had no mobility and depended on round the clock care.But I was always able to make him belly laugh everyday. My mother-in-law, had three open heart surgeries and additional medical needs. I always made the time to care for her throughout the entire day. I enjoy being a companion and support system. My grandmother always told me that taking care of someone is a privilege not a job. I enjoy getting to know people of all walks through life and I have taken many courses to keep my self educated in patient care.I look forward to getting the opportunity to know you.

    Hello, I'm a former respiratory therapist looking to help you or your loved one at home. For 10 years I worked in two hospitals helping people with various conditions and disorders. During this time, I also worked in home health taking care of the elderly. I continued working in home health after my hospital closed because I have always felt it was what i was meant to do. Please contact me if you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and compassionate. I do have my background check. Rate of pay per hour negotiable.
