I am a caregiver at heart, finding deep meaning in helping others feel safe, seen, and valued. As a certified HANDLE practitioner, I use gentle, neuroscience-informed activities that support regulation, reduce overwhelm, and honor each person's natural rhythms. My work as an educator and my training in emergency and trauma-informed care allow me to bring steadiness, clarity, and warmth to those I support. I love people, animals, meaningful conversation, nature, card and board games, and tending to the tasks that make daily life smoother. Communicative, easygoing, and grounded in a strong spiritual compass, I bring compassion, presence, and practical support to create comfort, dignity, and genuine human connection.
Amy worked for us providing senior care for my husband for a week, as planned, during my travels. He said she was always prompt, professional, pleasant, and accommodating of various errands and adjacent needs like dog walking. Our communications were also prompt, and she fully implemented the expressed care duties and anticipated others. We appreciated her greatly and recommend Amy heartily. Linda
