Hi! My name is Pamela. I enjoy working with seniors because I have so much to learn from them. I also realized when I helped care for my grandmother who died of cancer while I was in college, that I have a very nurturing side. I am an aesthetician by trade and have had many elderly clients who would simply enjoy the conversation as well as the physical contact during the session. I love being someone who could brighten their day. I am a certified Patient Care Technician. I do have my own transportation (my car is insured) so running errands and shopping isn't an issue. I am also fully vaccinated fully vaccinated and have received my COVID boosters. I have experience with medication prompting and patient bathing/grooming. I also have experience with clients with memory loss/Alzheimer's. I am certified in Adult & Pediatric CPR, First Aid & AED. I do not have an issue with meal prepping . I was raised with pets from cats to dogs to birds to lizards so pets aren't a problem. I am also a non-smoker. I currently have an elderly patient in Toms River during the hrs of 8-10A & 3-5P Monday thru Friday, however I am currently looking for new employment. If you'd like to further discuss my qualifications as well as my references, please reach out to me. I look forward to speaking to you and thanks for taking the time to review my profile.

I have a great sense of accomplishment to be able to specialize in senior care. To be able to assist the person(s) with tasks the person is not longer able to perform, and to improve the quality of care needed makes a great difference on the well being of the person being cared for

Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a college graduate with a BS in Biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. In school I played volleyball for my university. I also did continuous babysitting for two families for 3 years and my senior year I coached a club volleyball team. In the past I have volunteered in the nursery of a hospital working along side the nurses. As well, I volunteered in nursing homes helping with activities and meal time. I was also able to traveled to Costa Rica to play volleyball and here I got the opportunity to volunteer and work with special needs and underprivileged children. I had an internship in Budapest, Hungary shadowing doctors in geriatrics and rehabilitation. In this internship I spent my days observing doctors and learning about patient care. I also shadowed a Doctor of geriatric medicine for the summer of 2017. Here I was apart of the memory clinic and learned about patients with Demetria/Alzheimer's. I am now taking steps toward a career in medicine or medical research. I also have CPR training but my certification has expired. After all of the experiences I've had in my life I have come to find out that I get along very well with the older generation. Even while in Budapest I was unable to speak the language, however, I was able to make friends with the patients throughout the hospital. I look forward to the opportunity to make new friends! Thank you!

I am a retired 50 year old ex-corporate executive. I have cared for elderly family members over the years and am looking for an opportunity to provide care and services in the area. I have a valid NJ driver's license and can attend to Doctors appointments, oversee medication, shop, run errands and provide overall male companionship. I am very good natured, calm, funny and I love spending time with people. My children are all in college, my wife is a Pharmacist and I wish to do something that is meaningful and worthwhile.

I'm a wholistic health practitioner, life coach, nutritionist, psychotherapist.

I am currently living my best life as a result of responding to a universal calling on my life; service to elders and their loved ones. My life's mission is to promote the final years as a sacred, beautiful, honorable stage of life. I serve this world as a non-medical, end-of-life doula and elder companion who specializes in physical, emotional and spiritual care. Through extensive and continuous end-of-life doula training, I am able to provide support, education, and suggestions for comfort to those with a terminal diagnosis. I am equipped with the skills to prepare those who have the diagnosis and their for their last breath, hold their hand through a peaceful transition and create a new normal for those left behind. My own self care regimen, personal growth and intuition allow me to mindfully hold space and provide comfort for aging people and their families in a non-judgmental, loving manner. I improve the quality of my clients' lives by being an active listener, understanding them and advocating for their wishes. I recognize and support the notion that social interaction can be their greatest need. I am creative in finding ways to keep my clients engaged. My motto "my heart to your heart" is evident in the holistic companionship I provide. I have a toolkit of resources to bring maximum comfort; reiki, essential oils, crystals, etc. I am often referred to as an angel, a Godsend, extraordinary, beyond belief and words of the like. Contact me TODAY to see how I can be of assistance to you TOMORROW. My hope is that we can find a time to talk about my credentials and services in further details.

I've raised 3 wonderful boys, one of which is autistic that needs constant special care.

There are so many people in need of basic care services that are not being addressed in our society. This need has driven me to provide care to those that for circumstances beyond their control have been overlooked by us. I was an advocate in 2 nursing homes in the state of MI and was saddened and appalled by those that had no one to speak up for them.
