I have have over a decade of experience caring and helping those around me. I grew up very old country values Ukrainian and was raised to be respectful, clean and welcoming. I am a great cook, was a chef and kitchen manager for over 4 years. I took care of my grandmother for many years before she passed at home with me. She had osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, stroke and dementia. She had mobility issues, communication barriers as she did not speak English as first language and needed assistance with all personal tasks. I also cared for my father who had several heart attacks, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, hear failure, stroke and severe depression and panic disorder. I cared for him until he passed peacefully in my home under my cared granted and guided by the local Hospital. I also have raised a child for the 15 years and she has developmental delays and mental health struggles.
