HI, my name is Nicole ( Nicky) & I specialize in private home care as well as hospital after care and have been a care specialist for 10 years+ Becoming a caregiver was an unexpected twist in my life. At the age of 41 my best friend was diagnosed with Colon Cancer & my journey began. You are immediately part of a team; patient, family, doctors & yes the disease. Hospice, was what I learned and experienced next. This is where the most important work comes in. In person /working interviews are what are preferable for this kind of choice. Routine Dr. appointments as well as surgeries are a big part of companion care and I understand that. Driving to appointments within 10 miles. I teach care teams to use delivery for groceries and necessities. Delivery saves time and money. My care experience includes but is not limited to, Dementia, Parkinsons, Aphasia and other cognitive issues, along with mobility and eyesight and hearing challenges. Complete knowledge of pre op, post op surgeries. Rehab for replacement surgeries. Primarily I work as a companion/respite caregiver helping families with loved ones at home or living in assisted living communities. Also experienced with palliative and hospice situations. I'm excellent with Mommy Makeovers, Mastectomy, Facelifts, Masculinizing Chest Surgery and BBL aftercare. Companionship is where my heart is and reliable respite for the support team and family. Benefits of RESPITE - include, light housekeeping (folowing guidelines, I am NOT a maid), meal prep, companionship and whatever help is needed to get life back to manageable. Excited to start helping your family. Serious interest only, please and thank you. I live in North Las Vegas. In this very personal decision you will be making; please remember whether it's yourself or a loved one. You really do get what you pay for.1 Again Im Nicole & Im dedicated to making every day, the best we can make it.
