About Barbara

Experience: 10 yrs

I find joy in the care and companionship of our elder loved-ones, whose wisdom, demeanor and storytelling I equally appreciate, respect and admire. Having a pleasant, calm and patient personality, I have worked in elder care for 10 years, including with dementia and Alzheimer's challenged individuals, as well as physically impaired persons ie: fractured hip, cerebral palsy. When pertinent, I encourage them to engage in activities such as playing with puzzles, cards, games, reading, music, etc. I also do believe in the benefits (both physically and mentally) of a lovely walk in the sunshine or simply puttering around in the garden to get the blood flowing and fresh air into the lungs. Anything to enliven their day. Please feel free to email me and let's have a chat on the phone to see whether I could be of help with your loved-one. It would be my honor and privilege! All the best to you, Barbara
