About Patricia

I have been taking care of people for 11 years and enjoy the time I get to spend with them. Their wisdom and stories always intrigue me. I worked for a Healthcare for four years providing help with activities of daily living. Most recently I have been caring for a 94 years young Alzheimer patient and have been with her for 4 years now in Geneva, Illinois. I provide companionship and home care for her. She needs grooming and meal preparations, as well as medication management. I also take care of a woman in her 93 years young with dementia. I provide the same to her as well. I have a Parkinson patient whom is 82 years old. In Dekalb Illinois. She is total care and is need of everything done for her. I also cared for a cancer patient for 2 1/2 years. I lost him in October of 2010. He wasn't just my employer but became a part of my family. I hope to be a part of someone else's soon. I am hoping to be moving to Raleigh NC in the next six months to find new opportunities and adventures with my daughter and fiance. Hope to talk with new families soon

I have extensive background in caregiving. I have been in healthcare for 6 years. I have a nurturing attitude and can adapt in any environment. I have compassion about assisting those who need help. I love to offer companionship among other duties. It gives me fulfillment when I am a caregiver. Building relationships is what I enjoy most about being a caregiver. I can assist with basic ADL's.
