About Janie

Being a single mother of two I did what I had to to raise my girls. Managing a restaurant was hard work and long hours. I didn't start doing what I wanted to until after they had left home. I've always felt a need to help others, even when I couldn't help myself . I'm compassionate , caring, patient, empathetic, and understanding of how certain diseases affect the patient. Not all stroke victims, Alzheimer's or disabled patients are the same. I work with people based on their personality and their specific needs. I was raised to treat people like I want to be treated and that's how I try to live my life

There's no better feeling than knowing you or a loved one is safe, comfortable, and happy. I know; I was a primary caregiver for two family members before becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. Helping others is more than a job to me. It's my calling. With more than a decade of experience in home health care, I understand the importance of being warm, compassionate, patient, understanding, competent, reliable, and punctual. During these difficult times, being Covid 19 safe is paramount, too. I am extremely vigilant about precautions, like mask wearing, frequent hand washing and sanitizing my vehicle. I offer part-time assistance with personal care, medication, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship. I also provide hourly driving services for medical appointments, hair salons, or grocery shopping. My rates are based on hours, location and frequency of visits. I look forward to hearing from you and assisting your needs.
