About Jennifer
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My experience caring for others started with me caring for my grandmother. She was wheelchair bound with Dementia and Parkinson's. I took care of her in her home and as she declined I moved her into my home. She was with me for over 5 yrs and I cared for her 24/7. Duties included companionship, feeding, help with hygiene, transferring, re-positioning her so she remained pressure sore free, transporting her to doc visits, ordering/admin her meds, making sure she was safe/comfortable and meeting with nurse/home health care for weekly visits. I cared for my grandma in her final days with the help of hospice, so I have exp with hospice process as well. After she passed I took care of a woman with Dementia & Parkinson's in a assisted living for 2 years and currently caring for a woman in memory care for the last 4 yrs so I have exp in assisted living/memory care setting. I have great references and my BA in Psychology from Roosevelt University. CPR Certified. Currently in nursing school!

Jennifer was an amazing care giver for my mother Mary Lee for the last 4 years! My mom had Alzheimer's disease. She as bed bound for about 6 months after a broken hip at a nursing home. Then in a wheelchair for the remainder of her life. Jen did everything with her. Outside time, art work, game shows, companionship, feeding, changing, personal grooming needs. Interview her. She is JUST the caregiver you are looking for!
