Hello! Over the past 1. 5 years, I have been helping a lovely bed bound senior in palliative care. My duties included meds management, PEG tube feeding, bed baths and changes, bed/chair transfers, companionship. Make sure to find my reviews under "senior care" tab. I have 7 years of experience, including overnights, clients with dementia, poor balance. I assisted a gentleman in his late 80's, an Auschwitz survivor with a missing lung, hip bone and muscle. I took care of his housekeeping, errands, shopping, laundry, ironing, and cooking. Most importantly, I was his companion; he loved playing board games and telling stories from his life. Listening to him was easy, as he lived enough for two people and was very interesting. He did require patience though. Understandably, his war experiences changed him into a hard person. He left a lasting impression on me though, and not a week goes by without me thinking about one of his stories. Please reach out if you think I can help. Thank you!

Barbara is currently helping me care for my 91 year old mother on hospice with some dementia. Barbara is absolutely wonderful! and I highly recommend her to any family in need. Barbara is kind and compassionate and dependable. She has been a tremendous help with caring for my mother. My mom loves her as does the rest of my family. Barbara is experienced and knows a lot about care giving. She taught me many things in order to make my mom more comfortable that I would have never known. She also gave me tips and techniques to care more efficiently and effectively. She helped me convey issues of concern to the hospice nurse. I highly recommend hiring Barbara to anyone in need of help.
