I am a former teacher, looking to focus my energy on caring in a new context. I am an excellent companion with light care taking experience. A patient and empathetic person, I am often known to bring a sense of calm to those I'm around. I recently cared for my grandparents full time (88 & 94). Grandma struggles with mobility and Grandpa with Alzheimer's/Dementia. I spent the days organizing, cleaning (both light and deep), scheduling appointments, washing laundry, cooking, running errands, picking up groceries, helping with bathing/dressing, managing medications, taking them on walks, outings, or appointments. I helped them move safely around the house, created systems for them to function better/more comfortably, and of course, talked, laughed, listened, etc. Happy to chat or answer any questions!

Dear potential client of Kathy, I would be delighted to provide you with a recommendation letter for Kathy, a truly skilled caregiver. Kathy has demonstrated exceptional qualities and capabilities throughout her time with my parents. She possesses a unique blend of patience, skill, and entertainment that has truly made a difference in the lives of both my mom and dad. Kathy's qualifications are exemplary. She is punctual, hands-on, and proactive in offering or seeking help when necessary. Her expertise in safely transferring clients between surfaces using a wheelchair, walker or cane showcases her dedication to ensuring their well-being. Furthermore, she is proficient in assisting with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. Beyond meeting physical needs, Kathy also attends to the mental well-being of her clients. She engages them in brain-stimulating activities like reading, puzzles, and providing a listening ear. Her ability to foster meaningful connections is truly commendable. I must emphasize the vital role Kathy played in supporting my father during his peaceful passing. Her compassionate care undoubtedly contributed to the comfort and serenity my father experienced. Even now, my mother deeply misses her presence since her relocation out of state. Kathy's impact on those she assists is consistently described as invaluable, and I echo the high praise and recommend her without hesitation. Should you require additional information about Kathy, please feel free to contact me anytime. I am more than happy to provide further details. Warm regards, Jan G.
