When my friend's mother came home in need of 24/7 care, I couldn't let him do it alone. The challenges and victories that we experienced together as she recovered were as a whole one of the most important experiences of my life and I would like to continue to help improve the lives of others in both big and small ways. My goal is to help. In whatever ways that I can to make someone else's life a little easier that day.

The emotional and physical drain it is on the individual and the family when going through illness and/or aging is one I'm very familiar with. I have provided support and care to both parents who had cancer and were in Hospice care at home. In addition, I've assisted friends who've had a family member declining. I have no education or professional experience as a bedside caregiver nor do I feel comfortable or confident in providing medical or physical care. I am however, passionate and fully capable of providing excellent support in the following: emotional support | companionship | light housework | cooking | errands | appointments etc. Although the hands on physical bedside care is necessary and of extreme importance, I feel emotional love and support is also a crucial component, as humans we all need to have love and companionship. If this type of care is your need I would be fully vested in providing this service to your loved one as if he or she were my own family member.

I am very patient, I love to sit and socialize with the patients. I love to hear about their back ground and their religion and how they grew up. I am good under pressure. I am caring. I am on time.
