I have recently completed my background clearance and I have the Arizona fingerprint clearance card and FBI clearance. 

From working with families who have a specialized care strategy in place to working with those who need to develop a care plan. Extensive care giving is my professional passion. My care giving experience started at the age of 12 as a dedicated caregiver to my grandmother. The most recent 10 years have been dedicated to 2 special women. My time with them included specialized care, medication management, Case Management coordinating 24/7 specialized care. Alzheimer's and Dementia was the initial issues that brought me to both of these ladies. I had the luxury of working with two lovely families and established a healthy open door policy to speak honestly and openly regarding the patient. Our journey together ended in the last month. My husband who is a retired Air Force.

She is a  loving, competent, caring, dependable, trustworthy and responsive caregiver.

I reached out to Suzanne not realizing she didn't have availability.  Yet she still responded and offered to help me get a care plan together as I was new to this process.  She was very caring and compassionate about my situation and really listened to what I needed.  She provided me with a lot of resources and even checked in to see how I was doing.  Very grateful for making the connection with Suzanne.

Suzanne was a life saver for me!  When my mom's dementia advanced to a level where she could no longer drive and needed some assistance, I hired Suzanne to visit a few times a week and spend time with Mom, do some shopping, observe her situation, and take care of any other needs such as Doctor's visits.  

Suzanne is very experienced, punctual and organized.  I managed this from long-distance and it was a dream to have Suzanne on top of Mom's care and needs, while communicating with me continuously.   She was very familiar with dementia which was also very important.  

When Mom ultimately needed to move closer to us in order to have 24-hour care, Suzanne was there to help coordinate that from that end and I simply flew in, rented a car and picked up mom and her belongings (and dog) from her house for an extended road trip.  She had everything in order and ready.  

Suzanne was a gift to our family's needs and we will always be grateful.

Suzanne has been a caregiver for my 90 year-old mother for several months now on the weekends.  She is caring, dependable and delightful company.  Just great.

Suzanne was like a Ray of Sunshine when she can into our home. We really enjoyed her company and honesty. I really liked her professionalism and her friendly personality. Whenever there is an emergency when we need care for our family member, Suzanne will be the first person we call!

Suzanne worked for our family as a caregiver to my mother. At least to start. She became so much more as my mother's Alzheimer's dementia progressed. She always kept her composure working with mom, even though mom sometimes was contrary. Her sweet smile and friendly disposition always got the job done. She was also an excellent source of knowledge with advice for my father of how to handle the many problems the disease creates.
Suzanne helped my father care for mother all the way through to her passing. And continues to help dad during his grieving. She has been so much more than a caregiver or even friend she's part of our family.

I have known Suzanne for about 32 years. She is one of the few people I still keep in contact with over the years. Suzanne is a free spirit and full of love. She was not only a close friend of mine, but she was a close friend of my mother, who recently passed away in August 2013. Suzanne would always talk with my mother when she came to visit and was very patient with her, since she has had dementia for several years now. Suzanne also would give me pointers on how to handle my Mom since she lived with me for the past six years. The only way I can explain Suzanne's compassion for caring for people would be linked to my experience with Hospice of the Valley. They were a big part of my life over this past year and I cannot say enough about the organization. I used to donate my charity donations via payroll to the Humane Society, but changed it to Hospice of the Valley. Suzanne has the same compassion and gift that the people that work for Hospice have. Suzanne enjoys helping people feel good about themselves. She is an angel and I will always feel blessed that she was a part of my mothers life. If you would like any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me. I apologize this was sent a little late, I was out of town when I received the e-mail.

It is my privilege to write in support of  Suzanne  who has been my very best friend for about 30 years. Suzanne has professional and personal qualities which will serve her well in any position working with people. She is resourceful, creative, reliable and compassionate. Her friendly disposition puts a smile on your face and she always seems to know the right thing to say to make your day. She has a positive attitude and works hard to create a peaceful environment. 
She is skilled with the ability to work so well with people in discovering the resources they need to help them to be the best that they can be. She has recently worked with my aging mother and has provided companionship, love and support that has aided not only my mother but my entire family. I would recommend her without reservation. Suzanne would be a tremendous asset to any team. For any task where reliability, enthusiasm, and trust are valued, Suzanne is your gal! :]

Suzanne has been a blessing to our family. She help care for my mother through her Alzheimer's. She came to my father's home and helped with grooming and hygiene for my mom. Even though at times my mother was less than gracious, it never rattled Suzanne. She kept her composure and her sweet friendly smile. She supported my dad, with suggestions of how to deal with the many problems associated with the disease. She has helped my dad through my mother's final days and has continued to support him after her death. She has been so much more than a care giver, she is a dear friend. Like part of our family.
