Experience: 10 yrs
From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. That passion led me to nursing school right after high school. Though I've since retired from nursing, I missed caregiving so much that I returned to working with families and their loved ones. My background as a Registered Nurse allows me to bring a unique and valuable skill set to my care. I strive to be friendly, patient, kind, attentive, reliable, professional, and adaptable. I understand the importance of earning trust by remaining calm, predictable, and maintaining a genuinely upbeat attitude. I am experienced in adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and handling confusion or agitation. I always follow the family's preferred communication method to keep you informed.
Debbie has been a care partner for my mother for the last year. We feel so lucky to have found her! My mother has Alzheimer’s and Debbie understands all of the dimensions of the disease. My mom and Debbie have formed a wonderful bond. Debbie sees and treats her as a unique individual, not just a client she helps take care of. To give you a sense of the level of care Debbie provides, she recognized that shopping was my mother’s favorite activity and used it to build their connection. Debbie “runs a boutique” in our home. I have overheard them on numerous occasions looking at the “new inventory”, “the clothes on sale this week” and discussing which outfits and accessories would work best together. To hear them talking and laughing has brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion. Debbie’s ability to join my mother’s reality has been a truly remarkable gift. Any family who is looking for quality care, compassion, expertise, patience, and comfort for a loved one would be fortunate to have her!
