About Lisa

My goal is to provide care for you or your loved-one with skill, experience and warmth. I have 25 years of experience giving care to all age groups, but have a special preference for caring for our elders. I value and respect that every client is unique and has his/her own personal preferences and needs. My approach is low-key and I welcome direction from the client and family while offering suggestions when appropriate. I understand the patience and dedication it requires to build the bond of trust, but this bond is essential to giving good care.

What makes me a great caregiver is that I am compassionate and empathize with my clients. I am there to help them, YES but I want them to feel that I care about them and will be there when they need me. I became a caregiver and chose this path for myself because I know what it feels like to have no one beside me and also does my grandmother and that's why I have been by her side . Its something about putting a smile on another persons face or picking them up when they aren't feeling so well, gives me a certain type of strength and confidence knowing that I can do that for a person that needs it the most. I also take my work very seriously and I am a very reliable and flexible.

dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy.I think patience and compassion are essential. This is a job that requires a lot of tolerance for challenging situations, and good communication and a positive attitude also go a long way. Additionally, you need endurance and physical ability to support patients with certain tasks
