Nancy D.

I am an Optimal Aging caregiver \"Diamond Partner\" I charge $20-$25 an hour. I have a background check on hand. I started caring for my grandma, who had a stroke after my grandpa died. She needed help with pet care, reading, driving, cleaning up, cooking etc. Later I went to college and volunteered with a local senior care facility where I helped with personal and physical needs as well as companionship. I have worked with many Alzheimer and dementia clients as well as clients with physical and mental challenges. With my clients I have a patient and calm demeanor. Working with people to accomplish the things important to them is important to me. I love helping clients who need assistance to participate in art classes, gardening, museums, shopping and more. I have worked with people over the years who have different abilities, religions, personal preferences and ages. Each person is unique and I try to be respectful and honoring to them all. I am a licensed HCA with varied work experiences and references. I am available to work in the Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Mercer Island areas.

I Became a caregiver because I had nobody to care for my mother who was involved in a tragic road accident, and we did not have funds to hire a nurse at home. I love being a caregiver because I am able to give back to the community whole heartedly and those that I care for are so greatful and that feeling makes me happy. Successfully taking care of the elderly and creating a routine that my clients can rely on giving them a peace of mind. I am a patient reliable lady with lots of compassion for the elderly. Kind loving team player.
