About Meryl
Experience: 3 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I'm a 64-year-old woman and live in Huntingdon Valley. I'm looking for part-time work in the afternoon and the occasional evening as a senior companion. I'm very outgoing, patient and have an easy time connecting with people. I completed a background check, child abuse clearance and fingerprinting in 2016 and worked for a year as a van driver for the Upper Moreland School District. Many of my coworkers were older and retired, and I found them incredibly interesting. The stories they told from their past and the knowledge they have about so many things taught me so much. I was very close with all my grandparents and helped care for my maternal grandmother when she was in her 90's until she was able to be placed in a full-time care facility. My Dad is 95 and we're very close. If someone is willing and able I like to get them out of the house for a change of pace.

I hired Meryl to help my mother with errands and for companionship as well. My mother really came to love Meryl and appreciate her compassion and company. She would help my Mom with grocery shopping , taking her to Dr's appts and any other errands my mother needed to run. She would also help my Mom with any online needs she had as well. Meryl is very dependable, efficient, patient and personable. My Mom and I were very happy that we found Meryl. She made my mother's life so much better by helping her and being there when needed. I would highly recommend Meryl for other seniors in need.
