I have been in the home care for over 5 yrs, have taken care of people from ages newborn to 90s. I took care of my mom for the last year of her life as she had cancer and I did everything for her from cleaning, feeding tubes to shots. I also took care of a man (62) who had Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and changed diapers, took to appointments and did overnights. My other woman was an 89 years old who needed help in dressing and feeding. I am still friends with all my clients and have references. I work through a placement agency which would give me a great reference.
