Experience: 10 yrs
I offer individualized care with warmth and humor. I'm a former school psychologist and HR director who failed at retirement. My recent caregiving responsibilities have been as a host home provider supporting an adult with multiple medical, developmental and psychiatric diagnoses, after-school care for elementary children and supporting a 97-year-old with meals, grooming, exercise, companionship and community outings. I am empathetic, energetic and have excellent problem solving skills, with workplace awards for integrity, accountability, and humanity. I want to care for your loved ones using the strategies that benefit them. I enjoy physical activities, educational games and I'm comfortable caring for people of any age. I have a graduate degree, CPR Training, and years of formal training in educational psychology. I am happy to help with basic cooking, transportation (clean driving record and 2025 Camry) and light housekeeping. Lastly, if you have pets, they will love me!!
