About Teresa
Experience: 4 yrs
Hello I have worked with several families over the last few years. (see my reviews). After losing my best friend , my mom who lived with me , I decided to seek this position after leaving my professional career of 30+ years . Having cared for both my elderly parents , and several women over the last few years , I consider myself to be experienced with the many factors of aging , and the assistance , kindness and patience needed. I'm a dependable , energetic , healthy, young 60-year-old woman. I am seeking a part time position, during the week, but would consider an occasional weekend. I am prompt, neat, organized, compassionate, and friendly . I look forward to assisting someone in need, and hope that this will be mutually beneficial to us both . I offer many personal and professional references , besides the many reviews here. Have a good day .
Most recent review
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Teresa here on Care.com. She has been providing companion care for our loved one with Alzheimer's disease for almost 8 months and will be sorely missed as our loved one moves to full-time residential care. Teresa is communicative and responsible, but most importantly she is kind, nurturing, and genuinely cares for our family member like a friend. She has helped her navigate a world that is changing under her feet with patience, laughter, and always with a smile. She makes her feel seen, cared about, and worthy of attention when they are together and provides peace of mind to our family. We wish everyone facing these difficulties had someone like her in their corner, and know her next employers will feel lucky to have her too.
