About William

I am retired and three years ago my wife and I adopted my two great nephews now 8 and 11 years old. Since being home, I have been periodically helping our neighbor, who has Alzheimer's, at home or taking him out on drives, to eat out, and in the future to appointments per the family's request. I see myself as a caring and patient person with a good sense of humor, strong commitment to family, and know how important it is to have support. I have good intuition, am very aware of safety concerns, and value the preservation of independence. Besides my work in the past, I have been a personal trainer, continue to stay fit, coach my sons' basketball teams, and played basketball at a high level when young. As a Christian, I want to serve those who struggle and alleviate some of their day to day stress.

Why I would be a great caregiver, I had taken care of my mother for many years she had arthritis in her hip, knees she waited too many years before she had surgery at that time it was too late for the healing process to recover 100% she always needs help to walk and get around like shopping or her day to day errands, taking a bath at times, cleaning, cooking, going to doctors appointments. As her daughter, I was there for my mother for many 15 years helping her to have a normal life as possible, caregiver, provider, and a good listener I love to help people in any way possible in today's world of Covid19. I see many elderly people that may need help I always ask if I could help in any small way that I could help. I have worked in a customer service environment for many years in my career I enjoy listening, acknowledging what is going on in their life what can I do to help, always showing empty with grace. I would treat anyone with the utmost respect with kindness if I would be their caregiver. I was proud to help my mother and to say I was her daughter if she was still alive today I would do it all over again with no hesitation. I have worked with the agency for over 2 years I love to provide support at the time of your need I look forward of helping, be blessed Theresa
