I've been a caregiver for the past 7 years now, having taken care of my father who had prostate cancer as well as my 85-year-old mother who had degenerative arthritis, heart disease and the beginnings of dementia. For the past 3 years I've worked for both an agency and now as a private caregiver. My last client of over 2 years was a sweet 92-year-old lady who had Alzheimer's, COPD and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I stayed with her five days and nights a week providing her with complete care and companionship.
A brief overview of my responsibilities were:

- Shopping for her groceries, personal & household supplies
- Transportation to doctors appointments and outings
- Accompanying and assisting her at all family events
- Laundry
- Meal Planning & Preparation
- Disbursement of all Medications
- Assist with dressing, bathing & in/out of bed
- Incontinence
- All House Cleaning
- Personal hygiene
- Companionship
- Hospice Care

It's very important for me to retain the dignity and well being of the person I am caring for, as well as providing them with a sense of safety and comfort in their home. My personality is calm and reassuring as well as fun-loving. I am friendly and easy going. I enjoy making life easier and more enjoyable for both the person I'm caring for and those who love them. I would enjoy having the opportunity to sit and talk with you about the particular needs of your loved one and how best I could fulfill those needs.

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you.

Linda
