Hi! I'm a former activities director in a long-term care facility. I created and led programs to help seniors with memory loss to stay active and joyful. I had a baby last year and have since been doing home visits to seniors. I have very good references and would love to learn more about your loved one! I like caring for seniors because they exude imagination and playfulness! We get too serious in middle age and seniors teach us how to let go a little! I started caring for seniors when I worked in museums. We led programs for those with memory loss! In my spare time, I like to paint and I'm learning how to knit. My skills include dementia care. I was previously certified in dementia care. I am also educated in early learning and connect that education to creating developmentally-appropriate programs for adults with dementia.
Amanda provided home healthcare for my mother during the last year of her life. She cared for her with kindness and respect, not only ensuring her physical well-being, but also her emotional and mental engagement. Her ability to support my mother through dementia was especially remarkable. She played stimulating games, listened to music they carefully curated together, talked about trips and looked at photos, and encouraged my mother to engage with beloved pastimes, including playing the piano. She consistently went above and beyond - taking my mother for gentle outdoor walks, baking treats that brightened her days, and preparing nutritious meals tailored to her needs. Amanda also provided gentle massage, helped Mom perform her physical therapy exercises, and bathed and assisted with personal hygiene in a way that preserved my mother's dignity and comfort. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanada to any family seeking a caregiver who brings not only professionalism and competence but also genuine love and human connection.
