About Dwight
Experience: 7 yrs
Caregiver for Seniors. Good with clients for companionship or dementia. Two-hour minimum shift. I like to engage in conversation, go with clients on outings. I live near uptown and work clients within 5 mi of me as I do not drive. Have worked with 10 families. I'm upbeat, dependable, find creative ways to engage. Am certified caregiver thru Care. com. I don't do hands-on body care. I keep family updated by email on changes I notice in client behavior (most carers don't). I am also an author. Read my endorsements in profile. For current availability please speak directly to me. 24-hour cancel notice to avoid charges. Confirm client WANTS a caregiver, is ok with male. I'm told I have a calming personality. CLIENT ENDORSEMENT: "Dwight is a rare gem. He has been taking care of my father, who is 85, and experienced two strokes. Dwight has treated him with respect, imagination, and genuine concern. He is an author, with creative insight into people."
