About Cathy
Experience: 10 yrs
I have been a caregiver for 20 years. I am a certified nursing assistant and certified home health aid with extensive experience in hospice care doing several 24hr shifts in a row and I have my CPR certificate. I'm very experienced in medical transportation and post surgical recovery assistance. I love assisting clients with the activities of daily living - walking, grooming, bathing, transfers, medication management and I love managing their house when necessary to make them proud. I plan nutritious meals and am an excellent cook. I can assist with shopping and errands, I love helping people and can always find something to talk about. I can prayer with your loved one and can read the signs when they are in pain or need rest. I am a giver and love making a difference. I have extensive experience and I'm available for one-time assignments or ongoing. I'm sure I can accommodate you and I would love to discuss your needs with you.
Most recent review
Stop what you are doing and just hire Cathy. An absolute professional with a deep knowledge of eldercare, Cathy is a saint and was able to load and transport my elderly mother to a series of medical appointments. She dutifully waited through each appointment, sent detailed notes to us, and was a sweet companion to my mother during this time. She is trustworthy and reliable, showing up for each and every appointment at the proper time, and she'd even send a reminder note before each. I cannot recommend her enough.
