I have raised two children, spent 40 years serving in the United States Air Force and took personal care of my elderly parents for 10 years before they passed at the ages of 86 and 88. My mom was a stroke survivor during the time I cared for her, so I am aware of what is involved when caring for someone who requires help with all the personal aspects of life. I have recent paid experience caring for an elderly gentleman with late-stage Alzheimer's; a gentleman recovering from hip replacement surgery; currently provide 1x/week companion care to a 91 y/o woman and run personal errands and do grocery shop for an elderly couple. Only the care arrangement for the gentleman with Alzheimer's was acquired through Care. com. If you have a loved one or are that person who could use some help and/or companionship, I would love to assist you and your family.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Pat is that good. Pat has been working for me for about 6 months now. I am 82 and wheelchair bound and, although I can transfer from chair to chair, there are many things I need help with, laundry, light housekeeping, putting things away and getting them out for me and keeping things in my tiny apartment from getting in total disarray. She is cheerful and companionable and competent. She runs errands for me and in general helps me stay comfortable and organized. She knows her way around a kitchen, helps me assemble what I need if I want to cook something, or will cook for as I wish. And if I cook a pot of soup will divide into portions and put away and clean up. When I first moved here and everything was in boxes, Pat put things away for me and helped troubleshoot what I needed to keep and what I needed to give away as I had brought with me way too much. She helped me organize what I kept in an attractive manner and make my tiny space liveable and a fun place to be. She is always sensitive to my needs and wishes. I highly recommend Pat.
