About James

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

My medical training began at Morristown Memorial Hospital (Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, NJ) in 1973 as a medical-surgical technician. I have worked as a nursing assistant in Hawaii and Europe. In my more recent role, I provided long-term care to an individual who succumbed to a traumatic brain injury. My medical and caregiving experiences encompassed multiple years of caring for special needs persons (quadriplegia, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy), bathing, dressing, meal preparation, feeding, overseeing medication intake, exercise assistance, and transportation to doctor's appointments. Being a companion, in addition to practical caregiving and nursing skills, was often a critical and rewarding aspect of my employment. Meal preparation, serving of meals, and lite-housekeeping were often a part of my daily routines. Recent and past references and employment documentation are available upon request.

James has been an excellent caregiver for my dad over the past 18 months. As the needs of our family changed, James demonstrated flexibility and creativity in helping us adapt to the changes. In the beginning, we need help just once a day a few times each week. At the end, James often came to care for dad at least once each day although sometimes twice a day when some other caregivers were unavailable. Although my dad's condition declined, James always treated him with dignity and respect. The physical care of dad was impeccable. James was truly a blessing for my dad and our family.
