Hi. I'm an early retired journalist who loves providing elderly people and their families peace of mind when I work for and with them. I offer companion care, which includes walks, either around the block or or on a trail; driving for groceries, appointments, etc. I love bringing people back out into the world and if out in the world isn't feasible, bringing the world inside. I love listening to stories, helping people organize, and bringing stability and security for people. I've worked primarily with older people who have dementia. Families like me because I'm reliable, responsible, patient, interested and interesting. I'm funny, at least that's what I'm told, and I love helping people smile. I'm college and law school educated. I drive a late model, well maintained SUV and have a clean driving record. I'm also CPR certified, fully vaccinated and take CDC recommended precautions. I have excellent references and my hours are flexible. Thank you

    Eve was a fantastic companion for my mom. We hired her for my mother who is in the middle stages of dementia but also likes to be outside and active. We wanted someone who could engage her in multiple activities but also be a bit laid back and go with the flow. Eve was very engaging and energetic and willing to do most anything with her (long walks, excursions out, puzzles and games at home, etc ). She was always on time and flexible with her scheduling when we had to change it. We had to move my mom into assisted-living and otherwise would have kept Eve. Would definitely hire her again, and my mom really liked her too!
