About Ellen

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello. My name is Ellen and I am a caregiver residing in Massapequa, New York. I have been working under Care. com for over 10 years. The women whom I have cared for were not only seen as women I worked for, but we (and their families) became close over the years. Work was not seen as work. The assistance and companionship I have offered over the years has shown me how much I enjoy what I do. For that, I am forever grateful. I would be beneficial to you or your family member for several reasons. I can manage medication, prepare meals, bathe and dress. Along with that, I am available to do light housekeeping, shop for groceries and other necessities, and drive to scheduled doctor appointments. I am a very easy-going person. I enjoy what I do, and I am confident in knowing that I can provide the utmost quality care for you or your family member.

Ellen worked with my sister and I for years (on and off) caring for our beloved Mom. Ellen began with us after our Mom had hip replacement surgery. She exceeded all of our expectations in every way. She is a responsible, warm and caring soul. She was patient and kind with Mom and helped her regain her independence (for a few years). During Mom's final years Ellen assisted her with bathing & dressing, medication dispensing, light house work, cooking and so much more (always making Mom smile and feel cared for). Most importantly she became a kind and genuine companion. Ellen became an integral part of our family helping us navigate all of the difficulties that come with old age. Mom lived until she was 94 years young!!! Ellen handled so much of the responsibility of the day to day routine and did it most importantly respectfully and preserving our mother's dignity. Mom loved spending time with Ellen and loved her like a daughter. We are eternally grateful for her never ending kindness, generosity of spirit and the respect she showed us all. You will be very fortunate indeed if Ellen is available to assist you with your family member!!
