Hi my name is Roberta. I've been caring for the senior and assisted community the past 30 years. I took care of my own mother until she passed in 2015. She had slight dementia and COPD. I also retired from a local hospital after 24 years. I find this line of work very rewarding. I'd describe my personality as Personable, easygoing & empathetic. I like caring for seniors, they are so interesting to talk to about their lives. They have so many interesting things to talk about. I'm looking for a job that I enjoy. Where I make a positive difference. In my spare time, I like to crochet, embroider, read. One thing you should know about me is I am confident, honest and compassionate. My skills include conversation, mental stimulation, laundry and I enjoy cooking.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Roberta and the care she has provided for my elderly father. From the very first day, it was clear that this work is not just a job to her, it is a calling. She is one of the most compassionate, patient, and attentive caregivers I have ever encountered. My father can be a bit hesitant with new people, but Roberta immediately put him at ease with her calm, kind manner. She listens carefully, respects his dignity, and truly makes him feel valued. She goes above and beyond to ensure that not only are his daily needs met, but that he also feels engaged and cared for as a person. Whether it’s helping him with meals, assisting with mobility, or simply sitting and having meaningful conversation, she brings a level of warmth and professionalism that has been such a blessing to our family. What impresses me most is her natural ability to balance being both gentle and encouraging. She knows when to offer support and when to give him space to do things independently, which helps him maintain his confidence. She is also incredibly reliable and trustworthy. We never have to worry when she is around. Beyond her skills as a caretaker, Roberta has a genuine heart. She treats my father as if he were her own family. That kind of dedication is rare, and it brings us so much peace of mind knowing he is in her care. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Roberta, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a senior caregiver. She is not just a caretaker, she is a companion, an advocate, and truly a gift to those she works with.
