About Betsy

I really enjoy helping people, and improving their quality of life. I've been working in healthcare since 1999, and feel I bring a wealth of experience to the job. I have a wonderful sense of humor (which I feel is a necessity) and I love to hear a client's story. I have had Systemic Lupus for several years, so I would prefer not to due a lot of heavy lifting. I would assess on a case by case basis.

Self Employed-Ecommerce ---Penniboo

I started selling my artwork as well as other items on an online store and online marketplaces. Because of Covid, it been difficult to gain traction without spending quite a sum in advertising. Unfortunately, my husband's company has really suffered because of the pandemic. I still maintain an online presence, but I need to add to my income.

Aim-Cil

I took care of an elderly couple, I prepared meals, dispensed medications, trained new employees, made up the work schedule, coordinated with client family members on care. This particular couple was self sufficient in ADL's and some cooking. The husband was an insulin dependent diabetic and the wife was early alzheimer's that was well controlled with medication. I handled scheduling medical appointments and played board games and watched tv during slow periods of the day.

This particular job was very close to my heart, I had set up a CDPAS for my mother, I was the full time employee and there were a couple of part time employees as well. My mother had dementia and could was a hoyer lift due to a previous fall. I lived in the household so at times I felt like the job was never ending. My employment ended on July 17, 2017 (my birthday) with the death of my mother. I took some time off and resumed working for Aim in Sept '17, which I detailed in my other job listing.
