Experience: 2 yrs
I have a lot of social work experience working with a variety of people in meeting their needs. I have found I most enjoy working individually. I have been doing home personal aid care since February of 2025. I have experience with helping with mobility, working with different types of dementia and doing the needed things for people to make their lives go more smoothly. I love the senior population and believe in the dignity of each person. I am happy in helping those as if they were my own family. I'd describe my personality as easy going, caring, reliable and a good listener. I like caring for seniors because I know it's important for people to be comfortable in their own home when possible and would like to be a part of continuing to extend that for people. I am well aware of those that may feel isolated and would like to make life a little brighter. I also appreciate the wisdom that sometimes comes. It matters to me that what I do makes a difference for people.
Finding Susie has been an absolute blessing for our family. My husband has dementia, and while I do my best to care for him, I needed additional support so I could continue working. It was a real challenge to find someone who could accommodate the number of hours we needed , but Susie stepped in and and exceeded all of our expectations. She has been incredibly kind, patient and understanding toward my husband which means the world to us. Dementia care requires compassion and attentiveness and Susie provides both in abundance. Her gentle demeanor and ability to handle difficult moments with grace and have brought peace of mind to our family. Not only is she reliable and punctual she has also gone above and beyond to make sure my husband is comfortable and safe throughout the day . I cannot recommend Susie enough to anyone looking for a caregiver. She has been a gift to our family and I’m so grateful we found her !
