About Wendy

Hello, my first name is Wendy. Thank you for your interest in me as a caregiver. My caregiving experience spans over a period of more than fifteen years. At a very young age my interest in nursing the sick and injured back to health was very apparent to both me and to my family. It is a calling that has never left me. For me, being in service to others is the most rewarding thing I can do with my time. It fills me with a sense of purposefulness. The skilled caregiver I am today was developed over time; through a lot of hands on experience and through continued education. This wealth of knowledge and my many acquired home nursing skills are a combined product that I bring to every one of my clients. When I care for someone my goal is always to leave that person feeling better in their mind, body and spirit. Some of the skills I am proficient in are: * wound care * medication reminders or management * CPAP & respiratory treatments * feeding tube * toileting & dressing * mechanical lifts (Hoyer et al) for non- ambulatory patients * meal preparation * bathing * housekeeping * pet care & cleaning * errands - shopping, prescription pick-up etc. * companionship & positive conversation * memory care

Hello there my name is Alyssa I am a mom and a wife. I have been a caregiver off and on for a few years. I helped take care of my grandfather while he was battling his illness. I am friendly and polite. I have been trained in CPR and taken courses for in home care. I have had clients that are wheelchair bound and others that just need some light house cleaning. I am comfortable with showering/bathing and cooking or cleaning . I can transfer to and from appointments if need be. I have always been one to want to help others and I really enjoy the company of elders and cheering people up. I feel a big reward in helping others and making their day just a little happier. I really enjoy the work environment and getting to see smiles on people's faces.
