About Colleen
Experience: 3 yrs
My passion is helping others. I am reliable, compassionate and kind. I enjoy creating conversation with seniors and simply brightening their day. I started caring for seniors when I retired from my 30 year teaching career. Upon retiring I worked as a Patient Care Assistant /Nurse Aide in a rehab hospital for 2 years. I assisted the nursing staff and therapists with a variety of different tasks. Tasks included ambulating patients from bed /chair to bathroom, taking vital signs, bathing and dressing individuals. Currently, I care for a number of individuals each having different needs. I enjoy creating conversation and making them feel valued, important and loved. I have experience caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease. I provide appropriate activities that include transportation to the local senior center, bowling, out for ice cream or a walk in the park. I assist in baking cookies, playing card games, cooking, cleaning and putting puzzles together.
Most recent review
Colleen was simply the best care giver for my father during the last chapter of his life. She was professional, compassionate, reliable, optimistic and a great caregiver and companion. It’s hard to put into words the impact she made on our father’s life and ours. She initiated activities that we didn’t think about and my father throughly enjoyed them and her company. She’s a highly skilled professional that any family would be lucky to know and employ.
