My strengths are my strong organizational skills, my willingness to adapt as situations dictate, and an abundance of patience and compassion. I spent several years working as a caregiver and found it to be extremely rewarding to provide assistance where needed, allowing my clients to remain in their home and maintain their independence. Thank you for your consideration.

Jennifer came onto the scene to care for my 90-year old Uncle under unusual circumstances. The day we were supposed to meet for an interview, my uncle's dog re-opened an old wound on his ear which caused excessive bleeding which impacted my uncle's whole home. I discovered this about 5 minutes before my meeting with Jennifer and had to call her and reroute where we met and had to take my Uncle's dog with us to meet her. He was a mess! And I was frazzled - and I thought for sure Jennifer would run for the hills. But she handled that situation with grace and calm - characteristics she has demonstrated repeatedly in her care of my Uncle. My Uncle is naturally a very shy person who doesn't easily open up to other people. On Jennifer's first day with him, she contacted me right away to let me know that it was an uncomfortable day as it didn't seem like my Uncle was open to her being in his home with him. We talked through it and she went back day after day - and soon enough, my uncle not only came to trust her, but enjoys her company and looks forward to each day she is with him. She has been dependable and caring and doesn't just do 'work' -- she sends updates about what she feels my uncle's state of mind is and she'll send ideas to me for ways to boost his spirits if she feels he's particularly low-spirited on any given day. She trouble-shoots issues (both emotional and logistical) and follows through on any and everything she says she'll do. I could not recommend her more highly for your care-giving needs.
