About Pamela

Prior to 1998, I had a successful Interior Design studio. My mother became ill & my disabled father needed 24/7 care so I moved him in & used my savings so I could care for him 24/7. Following his passing I chose to continue home health care, because it was fulfilling. I also became taking a nutrition coarse to gain a certificate & was able to help heal some of my clients with my nutrition/medical expertise. The longest time caring for 1 client is 6 years & the shortest time was 2.5 years. I'm very loyal, dedicated & determined. I'm patient, kind, compassionate, & my gregarious manner is a direct result of always being positive. All of my clients have loved me. I have always treated each & every client as a friend needing assistance rather than that as "hired help". I have an impressive resume & glowing references. Besides being a very seasoned care provider, I'm a great cook, extremely neat & clean and I don't drink or smoke. My medical & nutrition knowledge has actually healed some afflictions of a few of my clients. I love bringing joy to my clients & proud of the health improvements I have intiated in a few of them. I became very attached to my most recent client of 2.5 years who passed after catching Covid during a recent visit to the ER for a minor PEG tube adjustment. That's the difficult part of the job. My proudest achievement was getting a severely afflicted Parkinson woman speaking again following a 2 year bout of silence with her previous caregiver. I discovered the woman had shut down becuase the previous caregiver had never sat & talked with her while employed. I also take pride in my own health & fitness. I'm in better shape than I was in my 20's & lift more weight in the gym than some of the men. I'm lean & strong & disiplinced.

I have over 18 years of care providing services, including CNA experience for 6 of those years. I am proficient in the redirection of those afflicted with Dementia & Alzheimers. In additon to Dementia & Alzheimers experience, I have many years experience with the following: Diabetes (including blood sugar check followed by insulen injection administration), diabetic neuropathy, ALS, Parkinsons Disease, PEG tube feeding, breathing equipment, amputees, Cardiovascular disease, Paraplegics & Quadraplegics, which leads to my proficiency in the use of a Hoyer lift (manuel & motorized). My greatest gift/quality, is my compassion & kindness for my client. I prefer to view every client as a friend needing assistance rather than someone hired to help. Unfortunately, for me, my most recent client of nearly 3 years, just passed away after contracting Covid during a recent visit to the ER to replace a GI tube.
