Experience: 9 yrs
Companion Care/ Medical Certifications current CPR/1st Aide current Food Handlers Card Bringing over 10 years of experience as a direct support and home care professional, with certifications through the State of Oregon and a nursing hospice program. I love to support seniors, adults with disabilities, and provide home organization/ cleaning/laundry/ shopping/ activities/houseplant/ pet care. Valuing reliability, honesty, and communication in order to co-create the best possible person-centered support. Outside of care work, I'm deeply inspired by nature and art. I enjoy photography, crafting, drawing, watercolor, theatre, live music, public author readings, and the occasional convention . I practice and utilize meditation, yoga, nutrition, animal/ horticultural therapy, physical therapy, and massage, that informs a holistic and mindful approach to care. Look forward to connecting.
I have known Augie for nearly 30 years and in all that time I have known them to be an outstanding human. We met practicing a form of bodywork, and when I was getting ready to have a baby I asked them to be with me in the delivery room. Their gentle nature and intuitive touch was just what I needed to counter the hospital environment. Later they worked for my friend who is now my roommate, a quadriplegic, and they proved to be efficient, attentive and quick to learn personal care routines. Augie is super easy to be around, and is a loyal friend.
