In 1997, my English Instructor asked me if I was interested in caring for her elderly parents a couple nights a week. What I thought was going to be a short term gig blossomed into a 3 year long relationship until they no longer needed my assistance. I continued to find paid work as a caregiver for the elderly, as well as a babysitter/nanny for children ever since. Over the most recent years, I have worked with families to provide their loved ones with the care they need including assisting with general living activities, cooking, light cleaning, help with some mobility, medication assistance, and more. I have recent experience with dementia, post-surgery care, and providing assistance near the unfortunate end of life, which was my most recent long-term position. So I'm in search of helping another family with the care and nurture they need. I'm fully vaccinated and can provide references at request.

Ms. Abby was great! She came and took care of my mother who is older as well as my 4 month old baby for about 5 months (we all live together). During that time, she was great with both my mom and the baby. She cooked breakfast for my mom, clean up my mom's room and living area, would encourage my mom to do some exercises from my mom's PT, and would drive my mom to her doctor's appointments. She was also very caring and attentive to my daughter, showed me what to do when she had diaper rash, etc. (I'm a new mom). I would have lost my mind without Ms. Abbey! I would definitely recommend her again, and if I have another baby soon, I will be contacting Ms. Abbey. Thank you Ms. Abbey! Justine misses you! ♥️
