Hi, instead of telling you what I can do or not, I will tell you briefly what I was doing for the last 2 years. I took care of 83 years old/young man with Parkinson disease, dementia. I was helping him with almost everything, from getting him from bed, through shower, shaving, dressing him up, preparing breakfast, giving him his medication, preparing other meals, drinks, helping him walk, exercise, taking him out, taking him to the doctors, physical therapists, dentist, keeping him occupied with some projects and many more including housekeeping, cleaning even we had professional cleaning person every other week. Obviously I was keeping him my company, but I always tried to give him some privacy if possible and encourage him to do some stuff on his own. It was good for him because he felt much better about himself to be able do thing which he was able to do before. We spent so much time together, so everything should have to make sense and right proportions. He was lucky man to have great family, kids, grandkids. I will always remember his sense of humor. I was lucky too, that I had a chance get to know him and his loving family. Besides English I speak Polish too. I have medicine background from Poland , here I have certifications as Medical Assistant, Certified Clinical Medical Assistant . I didn't mention some other details regarding personal care and full spectrum of my skills. If you are interested in my service or have any question
