Kind, experienced CNA specializing in dementia and Alzheimer's care, bringing 15+ years of calm, compassionate support.

I have over 15 years' experience caring for seniors as a CNA, private companion, and end-of-life support. My focus is on emotional presence, comfort, and maintaining dignity - especially for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's.

I assist with light personal care, bathing support, administering medication and medication reminders, hydration and meal preparation, errands, and gentle engagement such as conversation, music, reading, or quiet companionship. I am also comfortable supporting a client's spiritual needs or traditions if they wish. I do not perform heavy lifting or advanced medical procedures, but I work well alongside family or other caregivers to provide a peaceful, supportive environment.

Jenn has been caring for our mom several days a week since late May. She prepares her meals, watches after her cat and helps with laundry, dishes and keeping things tidy. Jenn has a gentle way about her and is very patient, which works well with our little mama. She communicates with us on her status, and is very dependable. We would recommend hiring Jenn to care for your loved ones.

Jennifer is everything you could hope for in a caregiver. She is gentle, professional and really is a friend to your loved one (and family!).  She cared for my 94 year old father in his last year of independent living, and one of his regrets in moving to assisted living was giving up his daily visit with Jennifer.

Jennifer has a nice way with our Mom who struggles with memory issues and loss of independence, Jennifer has offered friendship, care and a listening ear for Mom. It allows the family a break with Jennifer monitoring Mom's eating, medication, social interaction and exercise - walking.

Jennifer is an extremely compassionate and caring person who takes a lot of trouble to engage with my husband (has dementia). This has made a big difference to his well-being, and is so much appreciated.

Please take her off care.com.  She showed up one day, did not show up the next day, claimed she texted, she could not, the phone number on her check would have gone to my voice mail.  She left me in a jam.  She complained about doing the laundry, accepted another job while working for me.  I do not have a cell phone.

Jennifer was a great caregiver for my mother. She was carrying and efficient in all that she did for mom. I know that mom's quality of life was much better because of her care and having someone with such a good outlook around her. Jenn took the time to make sure her needs we're met, no matter how small. Unfortunately we last mom after a long illness. We will miss having Jenn in our home.

Jenny has a big heart and is very dependable. 

Jennifer is a great companion for my husband who has dementia. She takes him out for breakfast and helps him with transportation and running errands. She's been especially helpful around the house to assist when he struggles with routine things like the phone or computer. I know he truly enjoys her company! 

I hired Jennifer to help with driving my senior mother to appointments such as doctor and shopping and other errands.
Shes punctual and friendly and gets along well with my mother.
Would recommend!

Jen is a very kind and patient caregiver.  She is caring for my 82 year old mom with dementia, Parkinson's, and very limited mobility.  Jen tries to engage my mom in conversation and activities when my mom is willing, and deals well with the frustration (and sometimes boredom) of caring for a person with dementia and anxiety.  Jen has been a wonderful addition to our family and I feel very blessed to have her caring for my mom.

Jen has been caring for my 92 year old mother for several months now.  She is one of several caregivers we have had and is one of our two favorites.  Jen is the only caregiver who really takes in interest in making her time with my mother enjoyable and engaging.  She spends time seeking ways to engage my mother through music, puzzles, games and other activities.  She will also do things we don't ask such as make banana bread from over ripe bananas or ask us to buy foods my mother tells her she likes.  My family appreciates Jen and consider ourselves fortunate to have her caring for our mother.

Jennifer is a very caring and capable caregiver. She is understanding and compassionate when dealing with people. Jennifer goes out of her way to help whenever and wherever needed. Her help with my parents was invaluable and I couldn't have done it with out her.

Although Jenn did not work for me as a caregiver, as a nurse, and knowing Jenn as I do, I believe I can attest to her ability as a caregiver. Jenn worked for me for the last 10 years as a gardener. She has cared for my garden, making sure my flowers and plants are well taken care of at all times. 
As she moved into the caregiving arena, Jenn and I have talked at length about her experiences. Jenn is an incredibly caring person. She takes the time to find out the needs and likes of those she cares for and strives to meet them. She is very creative in identifying activities that those she cares for will enjoy. From arts and crafts, to puzzles, to reading books, she looks forward to doing those things the people she cares for like to do. I am constantly amazed at the ideas she comes up with for activities, and how they suit the cognitive and functional level of the person she is caring for. I would not hesitate to have Jenn care for me or my parents.
