Newton Caregivers

I am new to this business. I have been a Retail Manager for over 20 yrs and have decide to step back to be able to spend more time with my family. I grew up with my grandmother. who I absolutely adored. I am an extremely loving and caring person who loves to take care of others. I am a great listener and would be a great companion.

I am a friendly, responsible, and dedicated individual with over 10 years experience in the care-giving industry. I've enjoyed meeting new people and being able to help make their day to day living easier.

I have many years of experience caring for the elderly in a home setting. I find it rewarding to help seniors maintain as much personal independence and dignity as possible. I am an empathetic person who would care for your loved one as if they were my own family. I believe that having an upbeat and enthusiastic outlook goes far in life. I am reliable, honest, efficient and I have a good sense of humor. The range of my elder care services are as follows but are not limited to: personal care, companionship, errand running, cooking yummy meals, doctors visits, social outings and lunches, planning parties, shopping for gifts, vacation travel, light housekeeping and laundry, driving, assisting with exercise, pet care, managing staff such as caregiver shift scheduling, interviewing for possible new hires, training new hires, payroll and managing household bills.

Hello! My name is Monica. I am a 24-year-old graduate student at Boston college earning my dual degrees in adolescent/adult psychology and theological studies. I have was a caregiver to my grandmother for almost 2 years before she passed away. I developed a love and passion for being around the elderly and serving them while I tended to my grandmother. What I may lack in years of experience, I make up for in my heart and joy! I am very professional and learned some important skills from my Father who is a family physician and who started his own private practice in California. Care-giving, a sometimes physically demanding task, is also very psychological and emotional. I hope to assist the elderly in their bodies and in their minds so they may live everyday as fulfilled as possible. My class schedule from August-December is: Tuesday 4:30-9:30, Wednesday 4:30-6:50, Thursday 12:00-2:30/ 7:00-9:30. I am happy to work any and all hours around these times. Please let me know if you are interested in my qualifications and availability. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Jen and I've been a Senior Caregiver/Companion for 16 years. I'm very reliable, trustworthy and love my job. I care for my clients the way I would my parents. I promise a safe and stable environment for your loved ones. I have transportation and have an excellent resume I am happy to provide through email or at an interview.

I have over six years of experience working as an elderly senior caregiver/aide/companion. I provide assistance with services such as companionship, grooming, meals, light cleaning/laundry, medication reminders and additional services required by the client or their families.

I am a Registered Nurse with a BSN. My nursing experience involves telemetry nursing at Tuft's Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. After doing some clinical research at Tuft's Medical Center and enjoying the patient teaching component, I focused on clinical research nursing at Massachusetts General Hospital on their Mallinckrodt General Clinical Research Center, and The Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) at Harvard Vanguard. I also worked at PAREXEL International as a Clinical Research Associate- managing national clinical trials. My favorite part of my clinical research experience was all the patient and staff education required and I loved that teaching aspect and building relationships with my patients and staff. As much as I loved nursing, 16 years ago when my daughter was born, I fell in love with being a mother and have been home ever since! My children are now teenagers and I am interested in going back to work part-time. I became familiar with Care. com this past spring when I was looking for caregivers to give my mother in Maine some respite care. She is 89 years old and had been taking amazing care of my father for years with progressive Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia. She was exhausted and I spent a good part of my spring and summer with them, away from my family, as my mother could no longer manage on her own. My dad eventually was hospitalized as he lost the ability to swallow, and very sadly passed away this summer. I was trying to get them into an apartment setting where a service such as this would have provided mom with much needed assistance, as I was 5 hours away. So, this is my story. My mother needed me or a care provider to assist her. I personally know, had we had the right setting, how useful a care provider would have been to her. Providing elder and respite care takes patience, and kindness. It's so important, and I want to do something that makes a difference. I think it's important to note that I have not practiced nursing in 16 years and that I am offering elder care services, not nursing services. I provide you with my nursing background to describe my experience as a working professional for years in a very emotionally fulfilling and rewarding career. I will be attending Boston College's RN Refresher Certificate Program this winter and spring which will affect my availability. My classes are mostly full days Wednesdays and Thursdays. I also travel to Maine to care for my mother a few days each month. For these reasons, my availability is best for back-up care and short term coverage for your family. I have covered for care provider days off, sick time and vacations, so please keep me in mind should the situation arise.
