About Lois

Experience: 3 yrs

I have always had an affinity for seniors . I had a close relationship with my grandmother and an older neighbor across the street. By age 20 I was going into senior care facilities and singing to and visiting with residents. I also presented programs for groups in a living room setting. As my BA is in classical vocal performance I continued this practice for many years. Eventually I worked as a recreational assistant and music therapist in 3 different care homes. Included in my experience was working in memory care with Alzheimer's patients. I enjoyed seeing these folks become lucid and joyful when we sang tunes from their past. I would enjoy giving TLC to seniors in their own homes and helping them in any way they need. I am currently providing rides to seniors in Pittsford, NY.

Most recent review

Lois has been my private voice student for over 5 years, during which time I have come to know her quite well. She is a kind, generous, and very professional woman of integrity and excellent character. She is consistently punctual and well-prepared for our work together, and is extremely self-motivated. She has a delightful, positive attitude, a very friendly and open personality, and a great sense of humor. She is happily married and has raised a beautiful daughter who is also a successful young professional. Lois has a heart for service, and has experience in caring for the elderly. I highly recommend her.
