While I was raising my family (1993), my grandmother asked to move in with us. That ended up being the beginning of a 14 year career as a caregiver. I learned problem solving techniques, and used those techniques to provide the best environment possible. When my grandmother passed on, my grandfather needed assistance (stroke). I was a strong advocate for him and gave him a better quality of life. Now my children are grown. I recently finished a caregiving job for a gentleman who was cancer stricken. Sadly he did not survive. I provided end of life care for him, and support for his wife. We still keep in touch. At this time I am busy from mo-fri 8AM until noon here in Lake Tapps. This schedule is permanent until further notice. I am only available for Auburn, Sumner, Lake Tapps, and Puyallup areas, and must be at least 4 hours per day.
