About Esther

I am very compassionate and I listen well. I am dependable and have a high degree of integrity. I also am trustworthy and value confidentiality. I have experience caring for terminally ill people and in hospice care. I have assisted clients with doctor and procedure appointments and acted as their advocate. In addition to others, I cared for my mother who had cancer and dealt with many aspects concerning her care. I have experience with issues such as mobility, toileting, meals, medications, bathing, dressing, hospice, etc. I was a project manager for a senior move management company and dealt with transitioning clients to assisted living. I dealt with all the aspects of such a transition (financial, sorting, packing, logistics, medical, etc). I also have experience as a pet/house sitter and am so entrusted that I have my own keys all the time.

Caring for a Client - Confidential (part time)
I had been a Project Manager for a senior move management company, where I helped seniors sort, pack, and relocate to an assisted living facility. I not only did the physical work, but I comforted them during this overwhelming and grieving process. Many times, I was their only friend and listened to their memorable stories. I dealt with their valuables (including pets) and and often their health care providers and assisted living staff. I was entrusted with their keys, codes, valuables, pets, etc. I am still friends with many of these wonderful people. Currently, I am caring for a lovely woman who has quickly become a beautiful friend. I am not only her caregiver and companion, but I manage her health care, medical appointments and information, finances, shopping, household duties, computer, even her garden!
