I have been an Independent contractor Concierge/caregiver since 2005. I started off as a concierge & in home assistant most of my clients were elderly which advanced me into caregiving. I have taken care of many elderly people with different declining diseases, dementia, parkinsons, stroke & cancer. I stayed with several of my recipients through their transitions. In all my 20 years of helping families I have experienced the changes, frustrations, emotions of all the people involved with a loved one's care. I now have a certificate for End-of-Life consulting. If you or a loved one is nearing your end & would like to talk please contact me! At this point in my life I want to semi retire but I know how much we need caregivers so I'm going to stay in the business as an assistant. I will run errands, take people to appointments, post-op care, respite care, travel assistance etc. I am also on care. com as a petsitter/housesitter. Thank you for your consideration.
