About Wendy

Experience: 1 yr

I provide one-on-one, relationship-based care for individuals with dementia, with a focus on consistency, dignity, and emotional stability. In my current private role, I support a client through the day-to-day realities of memory loss, adapting in real time as cognitive and emotional needs shift. My work centers on attunement-reading subtle changes, responding calmly, and maintaining a sense of safety without confrontation or correction. My background in theatre informs my ability to stay present, responsive, and grounded in unpredictable moments. I'm particularly skilled at de-escalation, gentle redirection, and creating continuity in environments that might otherwise feel disorienting. I work best with families who value consistency, clear communication, and a thoughtful, person-centered approach. Currently available for part-time care (8-20 hours/week). Rate: $40-50/hr depending on level of care. it.

I have known Wendy since she was a child. She is bright, hard-working, and compassionate. When my father was in hospice, she showed a tenderness and care that made a difference to him. My highest regard and recommendation.
