Garden City Community College

I love dogs and cats. I have adopted 3 dogs and 2 cats which belong to my kiddos. Our pets is our family. I have dog sit during the day and night, sometimes overnight.

I have 10+ years' experience doing senior care! I enjoy games, watching TV, or simply chatting with seniors. I am a very easy-going, COMPASSIONATE person who cares deeply for those I work with-both family members and patients! I have gone through this myself and know that watching those we love decline is stressful, emotional time for all those concerned. As my mother put it: "Getting old is hell." I hope that I can be the person you can turn to when you need help. I am open to the occasional day/night/weekend job as well as I know sometimes you just have things you need to do or need some time away...

Thank you for reading this. My name is Lisa. I have three grown children. I have no grandchildren yet. I have dude been doing care for the elderly and mentally disabled and physically disabled for many years you can say 10+. I enjoy And give my work 110%. I have a very good reputation with families that I have worked with. I have respect for who my client is. I believe that they have rights and should be treated with respect at all time.

As a young child I gravitated towards the elderly. I would commonly venture a few times a month to visit my golden-aged neighbors. I was so intrigued with the amount of knowledge and endless stories they had to share. They loved seeing me at their door (or at least always led me to believe so), just as I loved the hugs and candy they would faithfully give;). In middle school our youth group participated in a community service project, we helped with various tasks and simply offered our time with the residents at our local care home. I continued to go on my own on a weekly basis for years. I would coordinate games, listen to stories, or even just sit and watch an episode of their favorite show with them. I grew many friendships, and cherish each and every one of them to this day. I have my CNA, BLS and CPR certification. Would love the opportunity to assist with your loved one!
