Hello, my name is Debbie and I'm listed as a companion. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm 56 years old, I have two beautiful daughters, My oldest works for Suffolk County police department and my youngest works for Maryhaven Center of hope. I'm a very caring loving person and taking care of people is something that I just love to do. I am trustworthy and totally committed to each and every client. A little more of my capabilities. Medical... I can use and read blood pressure, I can take and read blood sugar levels and also know how to administer insulin ( if needed ) medication prompting, and how to perform CPR if ever it is needed, I am also aware of dementia as I took care of my father and current client, If medical is not what you need, I make a very good friend. I'm willing to make light meals, run an errand, also a good listener. I take my care giving very seriously and try to provide you with peace of mind and a nice calm experience with all involved, including myself

Debbie has been part of a four-person group of women who have been taking care of my 96-year-old father-in-law for many months. They work in shifts, and Debbie has been working the late afternoon/early evening shift two days a week. Debbie is reliable, compassionate, caring and patient and I would give her ten stars if I could. My father-in-law is not easy. While amazingly he continues to shower, shave and dress himself, he has mild dementia and can get combative. Debbie handles him with aplomb and listens to his numerous stories about the old country - Italy - with interest and empathy. I would recommend her without hesitation. We no longer need this group of lovely women because we don't feel comfortable any longer leaving my father-in-law alone at night so we have hired a live-in. Hire Debbie before she gets away!
