About Carrie
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have personal & professional experience in caretaking, including those with dementia. I enjoy all kinds of people and their stories & backgrounds. I can manage different personality types. I have a light, bubbly demeanor and a playful sense of humor, which I often deploy to distract an agitated or upset person. I have a long background in journalism and a lifetime love of learning. I have also been working for Ulster BOCES for the past 4. 5 years doing Public Relations. Very inspiring stuff! My philosophy: I believe in fostering engagement to the greatest extent possible to keep my client rooted in the moment. Puzzles, collecting acorns, cooking, listening to music together, card games or just folding socks in a basket together over and over. About me: Married, 3 adult kids. BS in Communications from Marist. I volunteer weekly in an Audubon bird & wildlife rehabilitation clinic. I love nature, music, traveling, gardening, cooking, and local history. References available!

Carrie is knowledgeable and knows when to ask questions of professionals as well as families. She is sympathetic; but not overly sympathetic. During my treatment I couldn’t drive so she drove me to all my appointments and took me grocery shopping, to the bank, pharmacy, post office, etc. She was cheerful about it all.
