About Heather

Experience: 12 yrs

I have over 10 years of experience caring for seniors at all stages of life, with a strong background supporting individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia. I've worked in hospice care as well as providing companionship, and I understand the importance of presence, patience, and dignity. I've been honored to be mentioned in oobituaries on more than one occasion, specifically requested to be present during a loved one's final moments--something I consider a deep privilege and responsibility. I am healthy, strong, and can provide excellent references. I have a reliable vehicle, a clean driver's license, and can assist with transportation to appointments, always keeping families informed. Above all, your loved one's safety, comfort, and dignity are my top priorities. I genuinely enjoy listening to seniors share their stories and life experiences. Outside of work, I love gardening, bird watching, dogs, and being in nature. My philosophy is simple: to be someone's last best friend.

Heather cared for my mom with love and compassion. She made my mom laugh and engaged her in conversation that was relevant to my mom. For example, she asked my mom questions about her childhood, France, our dad and us. She made sure mom ate, was clean and took her outside for walks. My mom called her "my little friend".
