About Paula

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I was described in graduate medical school as 'person most likely to have elderly patients and bring small animals into her office'. I am a gentle soul who appreciates the wisdom and experience of others, and respects an individual's uniqueness. I have often been called upon to deal with the most 'difficult' patients in the hospital setting, or to be an additional one-on-one companion for someone in a group home who needs extra attention. I have about 15 years of experience in helping seniors, either live-in, on a hospital unit, or at home. I am strong and sturdy, capable of providing any physical assistance needed. I am medically trained. Also have my Covid vaccs and boosters. But I am also fun, and a great listener. I am retired from law enforcement work, and have a current Arizona Department of Public Safety Level One Fingerprint Card. I can also provide excellent references. I'm even a bit handy around the house and the farm. I will look forward to meeting you soon!
