About Fern
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
This bio relates more to elder caregiving, but I am also interested in pet and house sitting opportunities. I am seeking work that allows me to use my skills as a companion and caregiver to the elders of our community. I have over 16 years of experience in caregiving. At this time, I am looking for a position as a companion; to provide a watchful presence, good company and a deep appreciation of the stories and experiences that each elder brings. I offer a listening ear as well as the skills to meet the various and uniquely individual requirements of each elder. It is my personal mission to bring to the elders a companionship that includes the capacity to be present to their moment by moment concerns, as well as to encourage enjoyable and engaging activities. I am currently hoping to find a part time position of 3 consecutive days at around 16 to 20 hours. If needed, I enjoy the teamwork of job sharing in order to cover the needs of any client. Thank you for stopping by my profile.

I could not possibly praise Fern enough. I also could not have asked for a better person to look after and care for my 96 year old mother. Fern is smart, compassionate, caring, calm and calming. She became part of our family in short order. Fern knew exactly when to jump in and when to step back. My mother adored Fern and looked forward to her visits and depended upon her for her needs. In the end Mom could not care for herself but Fern took care of her everything while being patient, positive, soothing and cheerful. Fern was willing and ready to fulfill all needs from care-giving, to cleaning, to helping with organization including paperwork and appointments. Fern did it all and was a joy to have in our home. I would recommend Fern highly and without reservation. Thank you Fern from the bottom of our hearts. We are so grateful. Jeff
