I'm here to help! If your family just needs a respite, or recurring care for your senior, I can spend time with them. I love to cook so I can prepare meals, focus on crafts or art if they are so able, or just sit and talk. We can also run errands together or I can take them to appointments if that is part of their needs as well.
