Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, my name is Penelope and I live in Dedham. I have 12 years' experience working as a caregiver. I love taking care of people especially seniors. In the past I worked as a Greek school teacher. After my daughters grew up, I found a job as a caregiver, and I loved it. Thereafter, I continued working, caring for the elderly. I am honest and reliable. I am caring and compassionate, I can work long hours and I am willing to do overnights too. I can provide companionship which I enjoy a lot. I can help with personal care and light meal preparation, medication management and transportation and light housekeeping as well. Unfortunately, the disabled woman I cared for, 56 hours weekly for over a year, was sent to a nursing home.
While our family did not hire Penelope for reasons largely related to proximity, we had a very favorable series of conversations and a trial visit with her, where she was attentive to the details about our family situation, very patient in engaging with our parents, and had a very thoughtful and warm disposition. We are offering this review to help others consider whether her experience and good nature may be the right fit!
