About Bernard
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
With over a decade of experience as a senior companion and caregiver, I bring a unique blend of compassion, creativity, and expertise to my work. Having previously served as an art teacher, I pivoted my career during the COVID-19 pandemic to focus on caregiving, where I utilize my teaching skills to connect deeply with my clients. My approach is centered on creating a safe and peaceful environment, fostering a sense of calm and security. Clients consistently describe me as grounded, reliable, and creative in my care delivery. I offer a range of services, including transportation assistance and meal preparation, tailored to meet individual needs. A key aspect of my caregiving is the incorporation of non-clinical art therapy, which has demonstrated positive results for clients facing challenges such as depression and dementia. I am dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for those I serve, and I am confident that my commitment to holistic care will exceed your expectations.

My mother recently passed away after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. We were extremely fortunate to have had Bernard as a caregiver during the last year of her life. He exceeded our expectations in so many ways that they are hard to list. He is a caring, skilled, and experienced caregiver handling all the daily tasks including cooking, cleaning, laundry, personal hygiene, medications, groceries and errands. He has been conscientious, cooperative, and flexible; filling in for other caregivers when asked. But he went above and beyond by enriching her life with art therapy, helping with physical therapy, being a companion to my ninety year old father, and taking them both on weekend excursions. We have no reservations giving him our wholehearted recommendation and thanks.
