About Jessica

I believe in providing the best possible care for every senior I work for. I'm a very hand's on caregiver, by that I mean I will never be on my phone or computer while the senior is awake or in need of something. I will talk to them and listen to all their stories, even if they make them up or recite them to me 20 times. I will never let them sleep all day or take a nap unless you want them to. I don't allow them to do this because I want to keep them on a schedule so they don't mess up yours. I will never leave them in bed all day, because they can develop very painful bed sores easier this way. If they like and are allowed to go on walks or play board games I will gladly do this with them. I will also prepare meals, shower them, take them to the toilet or change their diappers, change their feeding tubes, and do house work. I provide all of these services so that you don't become overwhelmed with the caring of your senior.

    Took care of family members when they were sick. This inspired me to become a nurse aide. Work for numerous people who were sick and needed my help which made me feel special. Treat others the way you treat yourself.

    I started caregiving primarily as just a temporary way to make bills, but I have fallen in love with it. I truly appreciate the opportunity to care. To help people in the ways they need most. Getting to know patients is a joy and every day I look forward to going to work. Every person I care for is different, and so the bond is different, but a bond always forms. I have been humbled by how much seniors and their families truly appreciate and look forward to my help and presence. I have two and a half years of experience with an in-home agency as well as nursing homes. I look forward to placing my experience and training at the service of your family.
