I am a retired Occupational Therapy Assistant who has 15 plus years caring for seniors. I am a professional, honest, kind, compassionate and dependable caregiver. I have helped with gardening, food shopping, meal prep, organizing, errands, bathing and dressing, exercises, paying bills, medications, and accompanying to doctor appointments. I am available for one-time and short-term assignments in addition to long-term assignments. I have excellent references.

Gayle is an excellent caregiver.  She’s been working for me for 2 years.  Whatever the problem is she finds a creative way to solve it. You can count on her being there no matter what  the weather is.  She has taken care of household tasks, my personal care.  I broke an ankle & she has been very helpful in my recuperation.  She is an excellent driver.  She has been taking me to doctor appointments and helping me with transfers.  There is nothing I ever asked her that she hasn’t done.   Gayle always gives 110%.  If she see something that needs to be done she does it.  She is a very compassionate human being.  I am grateful for everything she has done for me.  She has also cared for my dog and is excellent with animals. 

Gayle is one of those exceptional caregivers. She came weekly for 2 years to care for my mom and help her stay in her house. She was absolutely reliable, always motivated and hardworking, and completely compassionate and understanding with my mom as she struggled with her increasing dependence.  I would absolutely recommend Gayle, she is a committed and compassionate caregiver.

Gayle is wonderful. She is caring, respectful and very good at what she does. I hate to see her go. The only reason we are parting ways is my wife is going into full time care in a facility. I would absolutely recommend Gayle for any family!

Outstanding worker. She is a self starter and always anticipates what needs to be done. She is the very best!

Within the first week, my mother said she doesn't know how she could ever go without Gayle in the future. Wonderful personality and always keeping busy by checking everything and anything off the to do list.

Your family member and you will be truly blessed to have Gayle care for you!  Gayle is simply the best.  I have known Gayle for 5 years.  She has taken dedicated and compassionate care of so many elders.

Four months ago I had triple by-pass surgery and additional vascular surgery too.  My long recovery has been complicated   My adult children and I knew we would absolutely need and have Gayle care for me at home as I recovered for the past 3 months.  Gayle has been remarkable!

Gayle is caring, sweet, compassionate, very hardworking, trustworthy and reliable!  She treats me with the utmost care, tenderness, respect, strong encouragement and confidentiality.  Gayle also has a gentle sense of humor which made me feel better as my recovery progressed.  I cannot imagine my back to health recovery without Gayle.  I feel blessed to have had her caring for me.  I absolutely will miss her for multiple reasons!

I recommend Gayle very highly as superlative caregiver.

Gayle has a wonderful attitude towards her work. She performs any task you set for her with confidence, as well as her ability to complete it successfully. Gayle uses her time in a systematic way so that her work is completed in an organized manner. Her willingness to help the client in any way makes Gayle an excellent caregiver. I would highly recommend Gayle as she is not only physical capable but emotional supportive of her clients.

Most people hope to make a difference in life.  Gayle, in her role as caregiver, is one of the few who succeed.  As my sister notes, "Newburyport could use a thousand Gayles!  She is a gift from heaven --- smart, caring, strong ... yet always cheerful."

On a typical visit, Gayle might oversee on-time bill paying, arrange a pot of cut flowers, help you downsize, change the sheets on your bed, take you shopping at the grocery store, and make sure your daily meds are taken.

Gayle arrives on time and ... well ... leaves on time unless she can make one more difference!  I am grateful to have her in my life, and recommend her without reservation.

Gayle cared for my 87 year old sister once a week for almost a year. 

Gayle did a wonderful job as companion, shopper, house cleaner (light), driver and in other roles.

She wrote very detailed reports about her visits - the highlights and the low lights. She has shown remarkable patience and understanding with my sister.

Gayle was very straightforward, pleasant and easy to deal with in all our relations with her.

I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with their family.

Gayle always went above and beyond when caring for my stepmom. She truly cares for her clients and treats them as she would a family member. Gayle is caring, gentle, prompt and punctual. She is cheery, attentive, thorough and committed to her clients. Gayle provides top notch care and will be an asset to any family who hires her.

Gayle is an exceptional caregiver!  She has cared for our elderly mother with dementia for many years.  She is conscientious, dependable and dedicated.  Most importantly she is a compassionate human being!  Gayle goes above and beyond at all times. Our family is deeply grateful we found such a special person to care for our mom.  She has made a difference in all of our lives.  We highly recommend her to anyone who wants their loved one to be in the very best of care.
