About Helen
Experience: 9 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
9 years experience lovingly assisting with daily activities- walking, grooming, bathing, medication management, cooking nutritious meals, and home care to help them feel good. Skilled with memory issues, food/texture restrictions, limited mobility, and pet care too! I'm perceptive of when people are in pain, need rest, encouragement, or even just lighthearted banter. I can pass your background check and come highly recommended from past clients. I stayed with each family to the day their loved one passed. I own a fully insured vehicle so I can assist with shopping, errands, and medical appointments. BONUS: I'm an experienced and professionally trained chef that is well versed with food sensitivities/allergies so I can also batch cook delicious meals for the rest of the family while looking after your special person. More BONUS: 19+ years as a massage therapist working in injury recovery and experience providing compassionate touch for seniors, cancer, and hospice.

I could say that Helen cared for my mom during her last year of life, but really, she cared for our whole family. Helen embodies everything a care partner should be. The is incredibly competent, unphased, and steps in for whatever is needed. She is a talented cook, calm in a crisis, and she excels in terms of actual hands on personal assistance. She is physically strong and understands what a person with physical and cognitive challenges needs. We learned a lot from Helen's example about communicating respectfully and patiently with someone with dementia. She intuitively navigates when to step in and when to step back, which is so important when someone is spending so much time in your home. I cannot recommend Helen enough. You will be extremely lucky to have her as part of your care community.
