I am a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background supporting both children and older adults. I have worked with children on the autism spectrum and, for the past two years, have provided in-home care for elderly clients living with dementia. I am comfortable assisting with daily living needs including cooking nutritious meals, light housekeeping, toileting, bathing, and personal hygiene. Above all, I strongly believe in preserving each client's dignity, autonomy, and sense of self. I approach caregiving with patience, empathy, and respect, meeting people where they are and adapting to their unique needs. I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where clients feel safe, valued, and cared for. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing care that supports both physical well-being and emotional comfort.
Ardie is amazing. She had been a caregiver for my parents for almost two years until a month ago, when my mother passed (my father passed a year before). Ardie approaches caregiving with love and affection, and always has a ready smile. She adapted as our needs changed, transitioning from primarily providing companionship care for my mother (who had Alzheimer’s), to providing assistance with daily living activities for both my parents, to helping with end-of-life care. She also helped with house cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and dog walking. Ardie goes above and beyond in everything that she does. Not only was Ardie capable and loving with my parents, but she was also supportive and loving of my whole family. We feel so fortunate that Ardie was part of our caregiving family - I cannot recommend her highly enough!
