Add to FavoritesAbout Phyllis
I became a caregiver very early on in life taking care of both my father and grandmother who have since passed on due to Alzheimer's disease. I love caring for other people to bring the best quality of life in whatever their situation or ailment, while maintaining their dignity, encouraging their independence, and affording them as much comfort as possible.

$18.00/hour · Cedar Park, TX
I have had a lot of life experience that makes me uniquely qualified. My family refers to me as the safety officer as I am hyper vigilant to my environment. I naturally express care for everyone around me. I have cared for my mother in my home in the last years of her life. I did all her hospice care before her death in 1999. I love helping and caring for adults in need. I have helped many friends after surgeries during recovery. I am interested in temporary positions like recovery time care or any temporary houshold duties or shuttling. To give caregivers a break might be the perfect temporary position.
