With over 30 years of experience, I have worked with the elderly and differently-able. I have cared for my aging parents, taken courses in end of life care and patient advocacy and I currently care for a 99-year-old couple part time. I have spent the last 30 some years raising my own four children and caring for other children as well. I am kind, caring and compassionate and have great respect for elders and folks with disabilities. I am confident with medication management, medical devices, showering and toileting, preparing healthy meals and snacks, running errands, providing help with pet care (if that is necessary), and accompanying your loved ones to doctor's appointments and other more enjoyable outings. I am a great advocate and take careful notes. I am an open communicator, love to provide companionship and compassionate care and bring along my passion for art, storytelling and inquisitiveness about their lives. Every person is Beautiful.

    I have known Deb J. for some 30 years. She clearly displays loving care for her family, friends and clients she has cared for. Integrity, honesty and caring are only three words that describe this woman who continues to share her knowledge, especially in caring for others. In fact, any person Deb interacts with in her life or cares for professionally from children to elders, is treated with compassion, dignity and respect. Sincerely, Carol C.
