About Cathy

Experience: 7 yrs

I have been a companion/caregiver since 2017 for ladies with dementia. I love dogs & cats. I love to cook and am an excellent cook. I will do light housework, laundry, grocery shopping, errands, take to Dr appointments, movies etc . I am very patient, compassionate, trustworthy. dependable, funny and love to chat and I am really good with redirecting. I really understand/connect with people with dementia. I took care of my dad for 15 years (he had dementia) I was a stay at home Mum for my two children (who are both adults). I wanted to find a job that I was passionate about and I did! I currently work Monday & Tuesday with Marie who I have been with since 11-17 Marie lived alone until last January I was with her 4 days a week ( she lived 15 minutes from me) she had to move in with her daughter who lives an hour+ (one way) l am looking for approximately 10-15 hours... 2-3 days (or an overnight) I'm not able to shower, lift or toilet as I have a bad back References available upon request

Cathy has provided care for my 95-year-old mother, who is dealing with dementia, for over six years. Cathy has been an invaluable support and has consistently demonstrated qualities that make an exceptional caregiver. She has consistently shown up on time and has been incredibly dependable. Cathy has been a source of comfort for both my mother and our family knowing that she is here to provide the necessary care and assistance. Cathy is also honest and transparent and open in communication. Cathy is compassionate and patient and handles situations with grace and kindness. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cathy as a caregiver! Her reliability, honesty, and compassionate care make her an invaluable asset to any family or individual in need of support for their loved ones.
