About Janet

Experience: 23 yrs

I am an attentive, cheerful, engaging Companion, and Personal Care Attendant, for 23 years, providing tender loving care, gentleness, respect, compassion, personal care, and laughter. I have loved all of my clients, which have included those with Althzeimer's, Parkinson's, acquired brain injuries, clients in post-stroke rehab, cancer, hospice and post-surgery care. I offer all aspects of personal care and enjoy helping clients improve their memory, engaging them in conversation, puzzles, painting, music, photos, memories, singing, and listening to music. I love shopping for and cooking delicious food and reading for my clients, discussing topics they love. I am a yoga instructor and help clients with OT and PT exercises and walking. I help keep clients happy, engaged and moving in their homes, and I love housework and keeping spaces clean and organized. I will care for you or loved one with great respect and compassion.

Janet is a very kind, creative, engaging, compassionate caregiver, companion, cleaner and cook who also loves caring for animals. She has worked with clients with dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, acquired brain injuries, people blind, in post and cardiac stroke and hospice care. I have helped her with employment over the years and her clients have been very pleased with her work. Janet cooks fabulous, healthy food for her clients, which they love and is no stranger to helping out with housekeeping. Families and loved ones have been very pleased, especially that Janet engages her clients in conversations and researching topics about history, art, music, family, cars, sports and engages them in activities they still enjoy like cards, listening to music, singing, reading books together and discussing them, birdwatching, swimming, water aerobics, and attending church and community events. She loves to exercise and helps clients improve their balance and mobility with their PT/OT exercises. I would recommend Janet highly. She is a good listener and brings positivity, professionalism, calmness and fun into people's lives.
