About Elaine

Experience: 10 yrs

I got my CNA certification in 2004. I have worked in many nursing homes in Illinois, Texas and Maine. I have taken care of cousin at home that had CP. I have done home health for a young man with cp at his home. On and off for the past 10 years.

We hired Elaine to help care for my son who had quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Elaine's easygoing quickly put us at ease as did her background as a CNA. G-tubes, bathrooming, feeding, playing games, helping with homework - nothing phased her. She quickly became part of the family and a great asset to have. The two of them went on shopping trips, the movies, anything my son wanted to do. While Elaine's priority was always our son, she was always finding other ways to help in the down time - dishes, laundry, etc. After a few years off to start a family, Elaine came back to work for us. She and my son picked up where they left off, joking and having fun. Elaine was willing to help out the times my son was in the hospital and was a godsend when he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Elaine works hard and is very respectful of needed boundaries. She also has a lot of fun with the families she works with. Elaine quickly became a part of the family and even though she no longer works for us, we still get together as we can. Elaine will be an asset to your loved one whether young or old. We can't recommend her strongly enough.
