About Winnifred

I became a caregiver to learn hands-on, how to better take care of my husband who had end stage renal failure. Being a caregiver, I have made a lot of friends, learnt patience and from chats with my clients, come to value myself and people around me more. I am widowed with a daughter, live in Wheeling Illinois, experienced in caregiving/companion, and always open to learn new pattern of care for individual people.

It has been my privilege to lovingly care for elderly people with dementia, starting with my mother-in-law. I enjoy entering their world and showing them the dignity, respect and gentle care our elders should have. I have become the trusted companion of each person I’ve cared for, and have served several of them for years at a time. Support for the family of the person I am companion to is a special part of my ministry. I am currently a part-time seminary student and simply love people. My desire is to bring joy and wisdom in caregiving to those I serve.
