About Carolyn

I've been taking care of my elderly parents for almost 7 years now. I've grown a new appreciation for taking care of the elderly and I understand their needs. I like the versatility and the company of taking care of people. I like making people happy. I'm really easy going and honest. My biggest achievement in life is raising a wonderful son who got his Masters in psychology and is doing great on his own.

Lori B.

$20.00/hour · Cedar Falls, IA

Hello there! My name is Lori, and I recently retired from teaching and became a part-time, remote proofreader for a publishing company. Since there was still plenty of time during the day to take on a second job, I decided I'd also like to be a caregiver. I helped take care of my father, who had Parkinson's for almost 20 years before passing away. My mother started showing signs of dementia shortly after his passing. I helped take care of her until she moved to Des Moines where she now gets full-time care. I enjoy seeing Mom on the weekends but also like visiting and helping her neighbors in memory care. They are appreciative and always happy to have a visitor, which in turn makes me happy! They helped me discover that I was missing something in my retired life: directly helping people who truly need it. I'm dependable, honest, and a hard worker with an outgoing personality. I hope you let me help you out - and bet we'll have a little fun in the meantime!
