About Carolyn
Experience: 1 yr
I am a very compassionate person. I have been a companion, house sitter, and care giver to seniors who were very healthy; disabled; handicap; and lonely; who needed someone who was able to identify with their needs and provide sufficient care. I tend to the needs of the senior and I absolutely love to engage in conversation, shopping, and reading with them. I have also played checkers, tic tac toe, and cards with seniors. I have helped with light house-work, laundry, applied medication, toiletries and bathing. The different levels of companionship towards seniors has led me to know that compassionate caring for them is an extremely important part of their lives. I create an atmosphere of beauty and sunshine. Carolyn S.

Carolyn worked with me for several years at a school as my secretary. I can't say enough about her personal and professional qualities. She was entirely reliable, hard-working, a quick learner, attuned to my peculiar ways of wanting things done, a good "finisher" (jobs got done, one way or another), punctual, clear-eyed, always pleasant, etc. My family and Carolyn's became good friends, and I had a chance to see Carolyn in all sorts of out-of-work situations. She is an enormously compassionate and caring person, deeply religious, and very other-regarding. Her children were respectful, intelligent, and cheery. I can well imagine Carolyn performing any kind of care, for children, for seniors, for persons who can't leave the house.
