About Candace

Hello: "Co-pilot" is a term that seems fitting for my role as caregiver. I'm highly competent, experienced, responsible and ready to help - but always respectful to follow the direction and wishes of the client. Activities such as grocery shopping, cooking and yard work are not just routine tasks, but also opportunities to explore, laugh and share stories. Being a caregiver brings out the best in me and I always strive to offer meaningful experiences and friendly assistance. Certification/Experience: *Certified as a Home Care Aide by State of WA. *Experienced as a professional caregiver (including clients with dementia and Parkinson's). *Primary caregiver for mother who had Alzheimer's disease in addition to other chronic medical conditions. *Adept at creative problem-solving for dementia-related issues to encourage bathing, food safety, minimizing stress during outings. *Knowledgeable of resources and interesting activities: senior center programs, museums, special local events, etc. *Bachelor's Degree in Social Services. Thank you for your consideration of my profile.

As a Certified Nursing Assistant with nine years of experience, I enjoy getting to know people and contributing to their lives in a positive way. I do not shy away from working with various health issues. Most importantly, I want clients and their families to feel that they have received their money's worth when I have finished for the day. I reside in Seattle and am seeking local clientele. References from current and former clients are available upon request.
