Hudson Senior Errand Assistants

I have 5 years experience taking care of and helping seniors maintain their independence. I believe the familiar surrounding of an individual's home is what helps a senior's mind staying healthy and sharp. I also work with younger clients for companion care, running errands, being a friend/buddy, transportation to appointments. Keeping a person happy and entertained is my specialty. I am also skilled in Tracheostomy care and maintenance, administering medication orally as well as via G-tube.

I am 20 years old and am a Licensed Nursing Assistant. I have worked with seniors at an adult day program before. My grandfather needed a great amount of help toward the end of his life and I was there just about every day to help him (and my grandmother) with cleanings, changing, showering, feedings, etc. I have a nanny job a few days a week, and I am in school full time online and am hoping to transfer to nursing classes in a couple of years. I also drive my grandmother around when I'm available (she is capable of driving, she just likes when I drive better!). We love to go to the mall to walk around, I do her grocery shopping and/or errands for her sometimes. I am a very helpful and respectful young woman!

I worked as a Social Worker for the State of NH for 15 years specializing in Child and Senior Protection. I also worked in a nursing home as a Social Worker and Admissions Coordinator. I currently own my own business as Director for Pampered Chef and I have been with PC for the past 10 years. I have 17 team members, who I work with closely in achieving their dreams with the company. I train, run meetings, and do parities of my own. I know how to plan daily activities, organize schedules, complete tasks in a timely manner, follow instructions and directions, and I have excellent customer service skills. I love life and enjoy making people smile. I'm a very positive person and I am rarely found in a bad mood. I am always looking to ensure that I live each day to the fullest. I love spending time with my family, hiking, traveling, dancing, and seeing my friends whenever possible.

I have always had a special place my heart for seniors and enjoy spending time with them. I worked for an agency in the past, where I provided care, companionship, help with house work, errands, etc. Additionally, in my personal life, my step-father, who had Alzheimer's, lived with us during his last few years. And most recently, I left my job to become a full-time care-giver for my mom after she was diagnose with brain cancer. She spent her last weeks on hospice care in my home. I am very comfortable and familiar with various stages of decline in both mental and physical health and find it to be an honor and a privilege to help seniors live their best quality of life with dignity and grace. Instead of going back to my job, I have decided that I want to help care for others and help another family in the same need that we were.
