I have always enjoyed spending time with the seniors in my life, and they seem to enjoy being around me. I'm a patient, listening ear and easy laugher at jokes. Puzzles, cards, conversation and just being together --out and about or at home-- are my jam. I'm a good cook and I'm comfortable navigating dietary restrictions. I started caring for seniors as a teenager, visiting with grandparents and being a help around the house. I have cared for my own mother after several surgeries and after my own father following his wife's death and current cancer diagnosis, similar with my in-laws before their deaths. I know what it's like to be in your shoes, looking for someone reliable and trustworthy -- who your person will also respond positively to! -- so that you can relax a little when you can't be there. I would be honored to be part of your family's care plan. My skills/attributes include patience; genuine care for others; and the ability to generate calm, positive energy in myself.

To be clear, Angela is my sister. So while I haven't hired her for this type of work before, I would trust her implicitly in this role. I have known her to be capable, patient and engaging with older adults and those with terminal illnesses. While I am more often with our aging father because of proximity, when Angela visits she often notices or identifies something that will make him more comfortable or that will make things easier for him; her observant and empathetic nature are assets to his care.
