Hi, I live in the Katonah, NY. area and have been a personal assistant as well as serving as a companion/aide for handicapped, developmentally disabled children/adults, elderly, as well as individuals recovering from major surgeries and long-term illnesses. I have a warm, dependable and empathetic personality. I am experienced assisting with daily living skills, shopping, meal preparation, errands, appointments, light house work, and organizing, as well as there to listen and provide good conversation. Having grown-up with two severely handicapped sisters, empathy, patience, and an up-beat nurturing personality, along with a lively sense of humor have always been essential! I have also worked as a personal assistant for well-known musicians, actors, as well as for families and elderly adults . I have 2 college degrees, a reliable car with a clean drivers license, am a non-smoker and am completely comfortable with ALL varieties of pets!
