About Esther

It is without hesitation that I give Esther my highest recommendation. Esther cared for my father over the past four years, during which time his needs evolved from those of an elderly man with physical disabilities to increasingly complex medical needs as a bedbound individual. Throughout this time, Esther always met him where he was and adapted easily and compassionately to his changing needs. She is extremely reliable, punctual, and conscientious. She communicates well and consistently completed her responsibilities in a timely and accurate manner. During the many years she worked with my father, I cannot recall a single instance when she called out without having already arranged appropriate coverage. Esther has extensive experience with both routine personal care and complex medical care, including medication administration, Foley catheter care, tube feeding, and IV medication administration. She was able to handle these responsibilities with competence, calmness, and great attention to detail. But what made Esther particularly special was that she cared for far more than my father's physical needs. She became an emotional rock for our family as we navigated the challenges and complexities of his care. She had an extraordinary ability to sense when someone needed support and to provide it without being asked. During numerous hospitalizations and medical crises, she was a strong and compassionate advocate for my father and for our entire family. I originally hired Esther through Care.com many years ago. I remember that one of her previous recommenders described her as an “angel.” I remember thinking at the time that it was a wonderful thing to say about someone. After all these years, I can say without hesitation that it is exactly right. Esther is truly an angel, and I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for an exceptional caregiver.
