I assisted with activities of daily living, for example, outing, doctor appointment, bathing, grooming, dressing, oxygen, preparing meals, helping with exercising, providing medication under the supervision of a nurse and a doctor also know how to use Hoyer Lift. In parallel to my responsibilities as a caregiver, I completed day to day housekeeping, which includes cleaning and laundry. I've enjoy my role as a caregiver because I love being able to help others in need. I'm searching for a loving family to assist with their elderly family memebers and every day chores around the house. References are available upon request.

There are not enough wonderful words to say about Dorothy. She was hired to care for my Mom during the final 6 months of her life. It was hard work, but Dorothy did it was both care and professionalism. Never once did she complain or shy away from any task. She skillfully and safely moved, bathed, groomed, dressed, fed and medicated my Mom. Dorothy also did laundry and general household cleaning. She had amazing patience with my Mom, who was non-verbal. The care that she provided up to the very end was irreplaceable.
