Please refer any of your family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, church friends to me for dependable, reliable, efficient, personable service for a loved oneProvide Home Health Caregiver Services To Seniors and all agesConfidential and CompassionateProvide Personable and Friendly CompanionshipErrands, Shopping, Light Housekeeping, Meal PreparationTransportation To Doctor AppointmentsDictate and write letters and greeting cardsWrite Care Notes For Each Visit And Maintain Necessary RecordsI can work with Seniors, Disabled Persons, Pregnant mothers-to-be on bed rest, younger and older personsMy college education in Social Work along with my personal life, work, and volunteer experiences have prepared me for this necessary work. I am knowledgable about grief issues and emotions and can help a client and family members sort through their thoughts and feelings if they so desire. For instance an elderly person's behavior and perception may be uncooperative because of underlying fears about change and the changes happening in his or her life including the deaths of spouse, close lifelong friends, and facing what feels and looks like a forced move to a care facility. As a Caregiver I am aware of this and I can gently guide the loved one to be in the present moment handling what needs to be accomplished just for today all the while encouraging and affirming them about what they can do and not what they cannot do. For instance when a woman who walks with the use of a walker wonders when she will walk again I can and will tell her "you are walking today, you just use a walker to assist you." At any stage of life we do not have to go it alone.
