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.
