About Heather
Experience: 10 yrs
With a decade dedicated to enriching the lives of adults and seniors, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine passion to senior care. My college education equipped me with a solid foundation, which I've enhanced with CPR Training. I provide respite care, live-in home care, transportation, and hospice services. I also assist with errands, shopping, home health, personal care, light housekeeping, and meal preparation. I'm experienced in dementia care, medical management, mobility assistance, and physical activity. I adapt to changing routines and handle confusion with patience and empathy. Understanding your loved one's preferences and history is important to me. I communicate with families through daily reports and regular verbal updates. I'm comfortable with pets. I became a caregiver to make a positive impact. I would be honored to bring my calm, professional, and detail-oriented approach to your family, ensuring your loved one feels supported and cherished.
Most recent review
It is with great pleasure that we recommend Heather for any caregiving position. Heather cared for our father from August 23, 2024 through November 22, 2025, and during that time she went above and beyond in every possible way. Our father was wheelchair-bound 24/7 and required full assistance with daily living. Heather handled every aspect of his care with compassion, patience, professionalism, and genuine love. She assisted with personal hygiene, dressing, transfers, meals, medication reminders, mobility, companionship, and maintaining his comfort and dignity every single day. What truly made Heather stand out was the way she treated our father like family. She was dependable, attentive, trustworthy, and always willing to do whatever was needed without hesitation. She not only cared for his physical needs, but also brought him comfort, conversation, laughter, and emotional support during difficult times. Knowing Heather was with our father gave our family complete peace of mind. We could not have asked for a better caregiver, and we are forever grateful for the kindness and dedication she showed him. We highly recommend Heather to anyone seeking an exceptional caregiver. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
