About Susan

My stepfather hired Susan to care for my mom who had a rare degenerative disease that ultimately resulted in full disability. Susan was hired for the evening/ overnight shift (5pm-8:30am). Due to my mom’s condition, Susan had to prepare meals, feed her, change her, take care of bathing and grooming, provide companionship, administer medication, and at times handle emergencies. She also dealt with family dynamics (and cared for my mom’s pit bull). Thinking about it, I’m amazed at all she did and at the dedication she exhibited. Once, my mom had to go to the ER. I met her at the hospital and she went home. But she drove a half hour back to my mom’s house after 10pm just to help me get mom back into the house and get her changed even though she had the night off. Toward the end of mom’s life, I moved her into my house. So I spent a lot of time with Susan, who stayed over nights to help out as I couldn’t move my mom alone. I really enjoyed having Susan around. She’s capable, dependable, compassionate, and truly cared about my mom. After my mom died, she continued to check on me and my dogs. I’ve had her watch my dogs when I’m away because I trust her to care for the things that mean the most to me. I highly recommend Susan as a caregiver.
