About Stephanie

Experience: 10 yrs

I would describe my personality as easy going, communicative and professional I have been managing group homes for 17 years and have been a caregiver for 22 years working with seniors and people with special needs. I am a Certified Residential Medication Aide and have current Red Cross CPR and First Aid certifications. I am experienced with lifts and transfers, in depth personal care and I am an experienced chef ( former restaurant manager ) and excellent housekeeper. In my spare time, I like gardening, enjoying live music, time by the ocean and spending time my niece and nephews. I have impeccable references and skills that make me an all around great asset to any household. My best traits are patience, communication and maintaining a friendly and welcoming environment.

Our family highly recommends Stephanie as a care professional. Stephanie has been an integral member of the care team for my mother and father during the last six years. During that time, I have seen the high level of dedication, knowledge, compassion and strength of character that Stephanie brings to the difficult and arduous work necessary to care for the elderly and infirm. Her attention to the many facets of elder care is gratifying to say the least. She is dedicated to ensuring the best quality of life for the infirm elderly client and understands that patience really is a virtue when dealing on a day-to-day basis with clients who wish to remain in their home but require mid to high levels of care. Stef is an honest reliable communicator and a professional chef. She has a solid grasp on nutrition, an important attribute, as nutrition and changing tastes can become an issue for clients and caregivers with less experience. Along with being kind she can be very persuasive, another helpful skill during those less than co-operative moments. We couldn’t have made it through all the ups and downs without Stef’s dedication to my parent’s and their little dog Emma’s care. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
