About Janet

I became a caregiver because of my mom....who also was a caregiver. I helped my mom a few times on a case...at the time I was working for the IRS...but I realized that caring for others was my calling. I love helping others and it pleases me to see people happy and content. My patients are my babies...no matter the age...and when I'm taking care of my babies that's where my heart is. Being a caregiver is my passion!!

I am an experienced caregiver and comfortable tending to folks with a variety of handicaps, whether they are physical or mental disabilities. Much of my experience came from providing care to an elderly hemiplegic stroke survivor (paralyzed on one side). For years, I provided meaningful conversation and companionship, timely medication administration, assistance with personal hygiene (bathing, toileting, etc.), physical therapy, reading, memory recall practice, housekeeping, and taking consistent, detailed notes of her activities, progress, and state of mental and physical wellbeing. As a step-parent of three, I never really left the field of domestic work. I am also an NHA Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, which means I have been trained in patient care, taking vital signs, as well as administering first aid, CPR, and medications. Although I am not opposed to strictly medical work environments, I feel it is time for me to continue caring for new clients in a home setting. My favorite part about being a caregiver is companionship centered around human needs. I miss my former primary client, who passed away a few years ago. Even on days when we were going nowhere, I still helped her get dressed, curled and teased her hair, and helped with makeup. She always had a preferred way of doing things, so I served as her natural extension and carried out tasks in the way she would have done them herself. I am fully. vaccinated and boosted for Covid-19. I do test regularly as an additional precaution. Everyone in my household (including all three children) are also fully vaccinated.
