About Patricia

Experience: 1 yr

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'd describe my personality as vibrant, patient and kind. I like caring for seniors because I enjoy brightening others day. I enjoy helping others and feeling needed so I work hard to make my seniors look forward to my visits. I've lived in Asia and have washed and rubbed elder's feet and let me tell you I am appreciated when I do this and it makes me so happy. I'm looking for a job that allows me to help others. I started caring for seniors when my father was told he had two weeks to live I flew him to me and brought him to a heart specialist who said it was my father's prostrate and with a catheter he was able to live three more years and we went to science fiction conventions together and stayed active. In my spare time, I like to read, watch tv and cook. One thing you should know about me is I am super reliable. My skills include putting a smile on a senior's face, filling time joyfully and getting the activities of daily living done with minimal stress.

Patricia has been a friend of mine for 20 years. Right from the beginning, she was very solicitous of me, because I had several health problems. She always offered to push me in a wheelchair if one was available. Several years ago, I had surgery on my leg, further incapacitated me. She came to stay with me for several weeks until I was doing much better. She is very nurturing, caring, kind, intelligent, and fun. Anyone fortunate enough to have her taking care of them will have the best person for meeting their needs.
