About Gertrude
Experience: 25 yrs
Bringing joy and comfort to seniors is my calling. With 25 years of experience, I am passionate about supporting adults' well-being and independence. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm known for being compassionate, friendly, professional, and detail-oriented. I provide transportation, run errands, assist with personal care and mobility, prepare meals, manage medications, and offer light housekeeping. I'm also experienced in dementia care, adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and handling confusion. I communicate with families through written reports and verbal updates, always respecting their preferred method. Respecting your loved one's independence is paramount to me. I became a caregiver because I want to support families by providing a reliable care option for them. I look forward to the opportunity to use my skills and experience to make a positive difference in your family's life.
Most recent review
Gerti is an incredible caregiver, in the truest sense of the word. She understands that to care for someone is not just tending to ADLs but encouraging conversation, sharing memories, and facilitating social interactions. Simply put, she became a trusted companion to my mother-in-law and important team member in our household. Gerti does not simply do the bare minimum but instead shows up each day with a cheerful outlook to meet whatever challenges the day may bring. She is not someone who sits back and waits for a problem to be solved; she looks for solutions, suggests them and implements them. She is incredibly organized, dependable, and communicative, and we miss her very much. The next family will be lucky to have her as part of their team.
