I have 5+ years experience working with seniors as a caregiver in the Portland area. Prior experience includes all aspects of senior care including seniors who want to gone on very, very long walks to those who just want to sit and chat. I have worked with those who have some dementia to those with various stages of Alzheimer's disease. I enjoy the stories and life experience that seniors love to share. My prior corporate experience includes many years of working with legal professionals who are smart, funny and like to argue so I'm ready for those times when it can get difficult. Just talking is a powerful tool. I like pets and know how attached people can get to their pets. I like the feeling of helping a family as well as an individual which is why I like this type of work. I feel like I have contributed to an individuals well-being.

Patty worked as a companion for my 90-year old husband. She is an incredibly kind person, excellent at anticipating needs. She followed instructions well, was always on time, and very flexible and gracious about scheduling. She is highly skilled. I recommend her without any hesitation.
