About Lezli

I have decades of experience teaching and caring for children. A few years ago I was offered a position caring for an elderly woman. Surprisingly, many of the skills transferred over. Both require great patience, compassion, warmth and a sense of humor. I prepared her meals, monitored meds, took her to appts. etc. Next, I cared for an elderly man who required help with dressing, showering, and using the toilet. He had some dementia and suffered PTSD, so building rapport was vital. His wife often raved that 'he would only smile' for me. At this time, I also did physical therapy exercises with another elderly gentleman and cared for him- occasionally overnight- to help his wife after he suffered a stroke. I find this work rewarding and view it as much more than 'just a job'. This is your treasured family member and I never forget that! I'm looking forward to finding a mutually great match and making a new friend.
