Primary Skills/Experience:

Experience in private duty sitting, errands, light house keeping of elderly as well as home bound individuals. I have also worked personally with Alzheimer's/dementia cases. I have knowledge of medications and nutrition, as i have worked with various stages of disabilities. For over 3 years, my duties had been centered around my Mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's/dementia twelve years ago. The decision to dedicate my time caring for her was a personal one, as i knew she would be most comfortable at home. The latter stages of the disease gave me personal insights that i would like to share with others. Recognition of the needs and a genuine sense of caring motivates me. At this time, i am looking to move forward and continue offering my services to those in need.
