About Paula

I'm a retired social worker with 18 years in working with adults who have experienced trauma, have mental health concerns, and crisis related issues. I am experienced in crisis intervention and de-escalation techniques. My graduate degree complements my hands-on experience, enhancing my ability to provide comprehensive support. I am patient, calm, compassionate, and friendly. I prioritize understanding each care recipient's preferences and personal history. I adapt to changing routines and handle confusion, agitation, or behavioral changes with ease, including de-escalating stressful situations. I provide written daily reports, and I follow your preferred communication methods. I am also trained in First Aid and can run errands for you. I am eager to use my skills to provide comfort and support to your family.
