About Jadna

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I grew up helping my mother to care for both my grandmothers. From a young age, I developed meaningful compassion for elderly citizens. In my 20's, I began to spend my Saturdays volunteering at a nursing home; rain or shine I was there, biking the whole way. I would anxiously await those Saturdays. I would shave, give haircuts to, and clip the nails of the men and women I cared for. I did that for over a year. I used to work at an assisted living memory care facility, specializing in assisting those living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Among other things, I helped them with incontinence, bathing, dressing, feeding, and giving medication. I have also cared for an elderly couple in Westwood, MA and an elderly female terminal cancer patient in Canton, MA. I cook, care for them, remind them to take medicine, keep them hydrated, busy and entertained, help them go to the bathroom, get them ready for bed, and perform light housekeeping.

We could not be more grateful for the exceptional care Jadna (Gigi) has provided for my elderly mother-in-law over the last year. From day one, Jadna has been diligently reliable in all aspects of her job. She showed up on time to help provide care and companionship in a very thoughtful and caring manner. Even more meaningful than Jadna’s reliability and professional capabilities is the thoughtfulness she showed my mother-in-law at each visit. Jadna took the time to listen and converse with my mother-in-law about her interests, needs and feelings. Our family cannot fully express our appreciation for the devoted, dependable and compassionate care Jadna tirelessly provided. We feel so grateful and fortunate to have had her brightening my mother-in-laws days during the last difficult stage of her life. We can give Jadna the highest endorsement as a reliable, warm and very competent hands-on care provider. She became like a member of our family and we would highly recommend her.
