About Helen

I became a caregiver after taking care of my greatgrandmother while she was in a nursing home, after passing they asked me if I wanted to work for them. I worked in nursing homes for 12 years. Also worked home health, private care, also in group homes, Ive been a care giver sence 1976, nothing else makes me smile. If Iam able to make the senior smile, or able to take them outside, so they can enjoy the smells of the summer air, or a ride to town, wharever makes the happy,thats what we can do. So seniors are so lonely, many of them the caregiver is the only person they see, in a day, many look forward to seeing us. Iam just glad that Iam still able to give my loving, caring self to help that special senior, and pray that theres a special person there for me if I should ever need one. When there happy then I fell as if Ive done my job,but for me its more than just a job, seeing them smile put a smile in my heart. Iam a very caring, loving lady that has a very special place in my heart for seniors, Ive done a few different things in my life, but Ive always seem to go back, to care giving. They except you unconditionaly,just seeing the caregiver makes them smile. Hope to hear from you soon your caring care giver

    i worked as a special needs caregiver for 3 and a half years. the home closed and i began looking for another job. there wasnt anything in that area available. at home health care called me and asked if i would be willing to work with the elderly. i have worked for 1 and a half years with the elderly. it has been awesome. it is hard to lose people you have been caring for. however, i am so blessed to have known them and help care for them. i am down to one client and need more work. i am looking forward to to meeting new friends. i specialize in the nastiest homes and the most difficult people. i look forward to hearing from you.

    I am originally from New York and am of Italian descent. I am married to a retired U. S. Navy man and therefore have some basic knowledge and appreciation of the military. I have been in the healthcare field for the last 21 years and switched over to Home Health in 2005. I really enjoy helping people with their health needs, especially those who cannot do for themselves, such as the disabled or elderly. Most of my patients have been the elderly suffering from dementia or Alzheimers. However, I have also cared for a couple of centenarians who simply needed companionship and occasional errands done for them. I am a very friendly and outgoing person who is also very neat and clean.
