I'm upbeat, professional, clean, passionate, caring, patient, organized, thoughtful, dependable, punctual, initiative, creative, fun, outgoing, resourceful. I provide companionship, assist with shower/dressing, feeding, light cleaning, transport. simple cooking, shopping, attend doctor's appointment, transfer, or whatever needs the client may have. I also like to keep my client physically and mentally active.
