Hi and thank you for viewing my profile! I am a licensed healthcare professional (occupational therapist) with 30 years' experience providing direct patient care for all ages and disabilities. Although I continue to work part-time in my chosen field, I enjoy caregiving as a natural extension of what I am already doing - minus the endless hours of healthcare documentation! I am a caregiver by nature and when I am not working I enjoy cooking, art, nature, animals and hiking. Given my background as an occupational therapist, I am more than happy to share my vast knowledge and experience with exercise, pain management, fall prevention, home safety, equipment recommendations, nutrition, cognitive remediation etc. I have a perfect driving record and a newer 2021 vehicle for shopping, doctor's appointments and community outings as needed. My proudest accomplishment is raising my beautiful son.
