About Erika

Experience: 10 yrs

I have spent the last year working with a great gentleman who had congestive heart failure, diabetes and dementia. It was a treat to help him and he became like a second father to me. I worked with hospice when the time came and was with him through the end at the request of the family. I've also worked with two Alzheimer's patients part time and one who is on Hospice. I have a gentleman with a kidney transplant and advanced Parkinson's. I care for these people as though they are family. I'd like to find another family with who I can establish a great relationship and help someone live to their full potential. I am a fun companion, kind and caring caregiver. I have over 15 years of experience working with seniors and special needs individuals in total. I am available as travel companion to help your loved ones retain their autonomy. I am available for driving to appointments, shopping, companionship, cooking, basic medication mgmt. I am always willing to discuss individual needs.

Erika is a self-starter with common sense and a solid work ethic. She's a clear communicator who isn't afraid to ask questions. She's also fun to be around, with an infectious giggle and a light touch in testy situations. She is excellent at "reading" people - and our dog loves her! We're pleased to welcome her to our household.
