Hi! My name is Nicole. I am 38 years old. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. I worked in the field for 11 years. I transitioned over to senior care three years ago and have cared for two women full time. I am currently caring for one senior male part time. I also previously worked at Gurwin's Assisted Living Facility as a Recreation Aide. I truly enjoy my time working with seniors and I am looking to continue to do so. I am hard working, honest, reliable and extremely compassionate. My goal would be to make sure you are comfortable, well taken care of, that you feel safe and of course we have to have some fun! I truly look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family. I look forward to speaking with you.

I found it hard to be a daughter to my mother because she has advanced dementia and I have become her caregiver. I was more like a parent at this stage but this all changed when Nicole came into our lives. I absolutely love Nicole! Nicole has taken over a large part of the caregiver role allowing me to feel once again like I am a daughter to my mother rather than a caregiver. She has been such a big help to our family by working late hours in order to help me take my mom to the bathroom before bed. Prior to hiring Nicole, my husband, who works an early shift, had to stay up late to help me take my mother to the bathroom. My mom always looks forward to seeing Nicole every day. Nicole is very attentive to my mom and she never, ever loses her patience, she plays games to help with mental stimulation, she serves my mom her meals and assists with feeding when neccessary. Nicole is adorable, she's a little quirky but classy, somewhat shy but a good conversationalist, she's funny, intelligent, caring and sweet all rolled up into one. She is logical and has good reasoning skills, often making suggestions on how to better assist my mother. I also want to emphasize that Nicole takes her job seriously and prides herself on always being on time, She loves my chocolate lab which is a huge plus! I have no worries about leaving Nicole alone with my mother, she has restored our freedom allowing us to leave our home and enjoy life again, we trust her very much and we highly recommend her.
