About Jessica

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! My name is Jessica. I'm positive, very patient, upbeat, and have several years of caring for senior adults. I meticulously journal food intake, blood/sugar levels, and medication. Experience with bathing, peri care, ileostomy bags, traumatic brain injury, dementia, Alzheimer's, persons with cancer, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, hospice. I enjoy preparing balanced meals, helping with animals, driving to doctor's appointments (taking notes from physicians) and running errands. It's important for me to keep folks on a schedule and encourage physical activity. I like to engage in spirited memories of years past, country drives, taking walks, puzzles, & learning about different plants. Currently I'm available Monday thru Friday 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. An occasional weekend Occasional overnight And with enough advanced notice I could stay for up to 2 weeks straight thru.

Jess helped take care of my father who was on hospice for congestive heart failure. She was very detailed oriented and asked very appropriate questions to know how to best care for him. She was very attentive to make him comfortable and administered and documented medications. Her time with us was brief, as my father was in his last days of life, but she helped to ensure both he and the family who had gathered to be with him were taken care of. After my father passed, I felt so comfortable with Jess that I also used her for child care to help with my daughter while we were planning celebration of life services etc.
