I remember when my Mother got in a car accident. She went from an active, healthy person, to someone unable to walk or get out of bed unassisted. I was volunteering at the local assisted living place, at the time. When I used the skills I had learned, to support her back while assisting her out of bed, her gratitude was visceral. It was hard enough, for her, to be so dependent. She needed people around her that knew how to help, without making her feel worse. I spent that year doing her physical therapy with her and assisting her how I could. Later, when my Grandma began to decline so quickly, I used those same skills to be her substitute caregiver. I treasure those memories, though it was hard work. She took care of me, when I needed her as a child. And I took care of her, when she needed me, as an adult. I loved her so very much. I raised 6 kids over the last 20 years. Children are messy and wonderful people. I love being a mother! I'm a pro at organizing the day, cleaning up, grooming, bathing, shopping, meal planning and preparing, entertaining, reading to, and all with patience and love. My youngest is in school now, so I'm looking for part time work during school hours. I have since been a part time caregiver for wonderful people who needed help with cooking, cleaning, self care, bill paying, shopping and errand running. I'm happy to help those who spent their lives helping others or simply could use an extra hand. Call or text me for references. I have a great deal of experience and even more love to share.
