Experience: 5 yrs
I worked in a Senior Living Facility & worked in the Dining Room as the Lead Server - I worked closely with the MedTechs and Care Staff & was a CareTaker in the dining room, during activities, & within the residential community helping in rooms. I have been natural caregiver for more than half of my life, as I've been involved in regular care for my nephew with spastic quadriplegia for 14 years. Additionally, I have helped care for my father for over 7 years, who suffered from a severe stroke in 2011. Their journeys have taught me a lot about the ongoing need for a companion who can support & encourage people with various needs physically & emotionally, and to just be a simple friend. I have also been involved in caring for my 91 grandfather in recent years, driving him to events & accompanying him for meals. I recently helped my brother-in-law recover from major surgery. I primarily offer companionship. I also offer unique services. I am an "Empathic Witness" - Message for details!
Darren was a tremendous help in caring for my 40-year old husband before, during and after rotator cuff surgery. I work full-time, am pregnant and also have a two year old and was not able to provide the round-the-clock care my husband needed immediately following his surgery. Darren helped pick up and administer medication, fetch and apply ice packs, provide food, and basically took care of anything my husband needed during that critical window. He was extremely patient and nurturing, and very attuned to how my husband was feeling. Darren continued to help with transportation to follow up appointments and ongoing care for my husband as needed. He also pitched in a few times in caring for my 2 year old and did a great job! Darren is friendly, flexible and reliable. I highly recommend him as a caregiver!
