About Theresa

Hi, My name is Theresa Henry. I'm a mature woman with much experience. The last twenty years have been spent in an office taking care of other people's businesses. Before that was five years taking care of other people's homes. Under the title of housekeeping, I did everything from repairing a brick fireplace and gardening to actual cleaning. I learned much about people, responsibility, and what I didn't want from life during the five-year period of time I worked in a nursing home and did home care. People can be interesting, hilarious, and terrifying. It comes down to knowing who you are dealing with today. For three years I helped operate a residential care home with six residents. They ranged from mentally damaged veterans to a cognitively challenged forty-year-old woman to a lady with advanced dementia who needed direction for almost everything. While there one resident famous for her pies attempted to teach me how to make a pie crust. Not sure if it was the teacher or the learner who was the problem. While helping take care of that 3,000 sf house I learned to appreciate the use of a beautifully polished serving bowl and a simple pudding being served in a gold trimmed teacup with a 17th Century English Garden scene. Or did today call for Green Eggs and Ham to get a laugh out of everyone? My goal at this point in life is to help someone with the necessities of life and try to add some interest so life is still worth living. If that is in your living room as relief care or traveling with to help on a family vacation is up to you.
