About Kelsi

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a Midwest native who enjoys cooking, gardening, music, hiking, biking and travel. I have lived in the Portland area for a decade and am very familiar with the city and its surroundings. I maintain professional liability insurance, am reliable, positive, patient, proactive, clean and tidy, empathetic, practiced in active-listening and have a sense of humor. I work with two clients, both women in their late-80s, with whom I have worked for four and two years. One is moving into a memory care facility and I have some schedule availability. I support individuals with diverse and dynamic cognitive and physical abilities, including the beginning stages of dementia. I have extensive experience engaging with the medical system, including navigating the ER, scheduling / attending / documenting appointments, adherence to aftercare instructions, medication management, physical risk management and support with physical therapy regimens. I provide hygiene support, including bathing.

I highly recommend Kelsi to anyone looking for compassionate and reliable care for a loved one. Kelsi cared for my elderly mother for nearly two years, exceeded our expectations in every way, and was truly a gift to our family. From the beginning, Kelsi was dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in my mom’s well-being. She began as a companion, bringing joy and normalcy into my mother’s days. She accompanied her on errands and encouraged gentle activity and social engagement with neighborhood walks, coffee shop visits and the occasional lunch out. Her calm presence and steady patience made a noticeable difference as my mother’s dementia and needs increased. Kelsi helped her maintain her dignity and independence for as long as possible. After my mother experienced a serious fall a year ago, Kelsi seamlessly took on more responsibilities. These included medication management, preparing healthy meals from scratch, assistance with hygiene and showering, and monitoring safety. Kelsi became especially instrumental in managing home health and other appointments, organizing daily care, and making sure medical instructions were followed without overwhelming my mom. One of Kelsi’s greatest strengths is her ability to balance practical caregiving with emotional awareness; she’s incredibly attentive, patient, and kind. Kelsi treated my mother with genuine love and respect, often feeling more like family than a caregiver. It was clear that this was more than a job to her. She ensured my mother was safe, well-nourished, and taking medications correctly, while also paying close attention to her mood, comfort, and stress level. Kelsi cared deeply and took her responsibilities seriously. She communicated clearly and consistently with family members, earned our trust completely, and we always felt confident knowing our mother was in capable, compassionate hands. We are so grateful to have found Kelsi and recommend her without hesitation to any family seeking exceptional care.
