Senior Companion Caregiver
For over 15 years I was committed to caring for my mother who suffers from multiple sclerosis. She lived with my family for over 10 years so I could provide quality, loving, and individualized care to meet her increasing medical needs, keep her independent, and give her a rich, joy-filled life. My duties with her care were vast, but the most important thing I gave her during that time was joy through active listening, laughter and love. This alone elevated her mood, increased her overall health and decreased the rate of decline of the disease. Completing my master's level degree in counseling in 2005 helped fine-tune my communication skills in reading and meeting people where they're at on any given day and providing a deeper level of patience, empathy and understanding. My passion is to make a positive impact and enable well-being for people. The past experience with my mom and these past 2. 5 years providing professional care to seniors make me a great candidate for your care needs.
