About Jennifer

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have worked as a caregiver for more than 30 years and love it. I have done almost every possible case ad looking forward to doing even more. I have worked with clients with dementia, Parkinson, MS, mental health issues, spinal cord issues, blindness and so many others. I believe in caring for the whole person. Ones personal care is very important but so are the needs to have hobbies and interests. I try to encourage and help my clients with their hobbies and interests. I am comfortable providing spiritual care and prayer if and only of asked. I am comfortable doing housekeeping and fine with homes with animals but no cats due to allergies. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Jennifer is a terrific caregiver and I would highly recommend her. She took care of our elderly mother, who had advanced dementia, and made a tremendous positive difference in her life. Thanks to Jennifer, our mom went from just sitting and watching TV, and communicating little, to (with Jennifer's assistance) doing crafts, conversing, baking, cooking, exercising, and having much enjoyment. Jennifer went far out of her way to come up with things, and even find the materials, to allow our mom to safely be able to do these things. She had an amazing ability to help our mom remember pleasant and interesting things from her life, as well. We called her "Mrs. Miracle". Jennifer was also very able to handle bathing, changing, medications, and vital signs. She was very attentive to any changes in physical status as well. I would highly recommend Jennifer, and if our mom were still here with us, we certainly would still be asking her to help with our mom's care.
