About Petra
Experience: 35 yrs
My first career was as an oncology/ob-gyn nurse in Germany, where I grew up and studied. I am in my 60s and both grounded and reliable. I am known for accomplishing projects quickly and efficiently (my friends joke that it is my German work ethic). Please contact me if you are seeking caregiver to: +coordinate home visits or drive elder to doctor, dental hygienist, podiatrist, hair stylist, etc. +facilitate social interactions, driving to activities and appointments and classes (exercise, art, yoga, flower arrangement, etc.), and visiting nature. +provide organic/non-GMO meal preparation. +help with home organization (releasing clutter and creating balance in the home). I have a nursing background (attentive to health/medical concerns) and a skilled traveling companion.
Most recent review
Despite her busy schedule Petra was able to give me a bit of time and advice for transitioning my mother back home after an injury. She was absolutely spot on with all of her advice and I am so grateful for her expert knowledge and encouragement. I would go so far as so say she was the most adept at pinpointing what needs to be done and skipped any sort of pretense or small talk. She hones I'm on what is important and gives you so much good information. She has a magical combination of nursing experience, European sensibility, holistic outlook and no fuss efficiency all with a practical and optimistic outlook. My mother's GP could seriously learn a few things from her.
