About Conni

Caregiving is personal for me. In my early 20's I assisted my aunts w/the home care of my grandmother; she required 24/7 care w/things like reading to her, toileting, med minders,meal prep/feeding or visiting w/her. She was diabetic & she was on dialysis at home 3x's a wk, my aunt, who was certified preformed this procedure & trained me as her back-up.I loved knowing she could count on me. I have since learned that I LOVE giving that same type of attention & caring to others....there's a great sense of accomplishment & self respect that comes from helping those with needs. I've lived in ATX since Jan of 2014 1st going to work with a Sr Home Healthcare Svc, gaining both hands on knowledge & up to date techniques & safety procedures. Having prev owned 2 successful businesses, I chose to combine that knowledge with my love of helping others & chose to be a private Caregiver to be able to give more of myself to my clients needs. I have worked closely with my previous clients families as well with physical & occupational therapist & alongside hospice. I have a great, positive outlook on life, a great sense of humor & a heart of dedication. I have great communication, scheduling & organizational skills. I have advocated for the rights & well being of those who needed me to fill in the gap. I encourage health & safety , exp w/Hoyers, have worked w/rehab & experince in Alzheimer's, Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, Diabetes, Cancer patients & recovery & much more. I insist on open, consistent communication with my clients' family members & make my clients safety, health, mental & spiritual well being my 1st priority. I look forward to helping you & your family feel confident in your acquiring my caregiving services!

Private Home Caregiver
I moved from ATX area to Waxahachie.

I assisted with his meal prep/ feeding, dressing, showering, mobility & ADL's.

I worked closely with hospice tend to his physical needs & provided his wife/my dear friend with the respite she needed during her husband's decline when hospice became a more frequent presence in their home.

Private Home Caregiver

Aug 2015 - Mar 2017
Private
I began assisting my client, diagnosed with Parkinson's-Dementia 2-3 hrs a day, 5 days a week with light housekeeping, meal prep, her laundry & companionship. I also worked closely with her physical therapist & encouraged her PT daily. My clients husband increased my hrs to 4 hrs daily, 5 days a week. My clients daily care needs increased to adding 2-3 meals prepared, assisting her with stand by assist from bed to dressing as well as managing her routine shower days. I assisted her husband as well with weekly grocery shopping, Dr appointments & scheduling her outings for stimulating exercise, using mine or their vehicle depending on my clients preference. Due to a fall & my client needing around the clock medical supervision, her husband transferred her to a wonderful, caring facility but he requested I still spend 5-6 days a week 4-6 hrs a day with my client until she grew comfortable & confident of her surroundings. I still tended to her laundry myself, getting her out of bed, stand by assisting to her wheelchair, helping her dress for the day, to & from dining room, sometimes assisting her by feeding her, working closely with facility, her Dr's & family concerning her medical needs & physical therapy. I spent most every day with my precious client for nearly a year until I stepped out, allowing her family to spend time with her during her last months.
