About Heather

Hello! My name is Heather, and I am a compassionate, dependable, and experienced professional caregiver with 21 years of experience in caregiving and healthcare. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for seniors, individuals with disabilities, adults with special needs, and people who need additional support maintaining their independence and quality of life. I believe caregiving is much more than completing daily tasks, it is about treating every person with dignity, patience, kindness, respect, and compassion. I take the time to get to know each person I care for, learn their routines and preferences, and provide care that is centered around their individual needs. My experience includes assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), personal care, bathing and grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility assistance, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, medication reminders/assistance, transportation, errands, and maintaining a safe and comfortable home environment. I also have experience providing specialized support for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia, disabilities, and complex care needs, as well as experience with geriatric care, respite care, direct support, palliative care, and end-of-life care. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust, especially when their loved one needs consistent and compassionate support. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and have training and experience in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. My background has taught me how to remain calm in challenging situations, communicate effectively with families and healthcare professionals, and recognize when a person may need additional assistance. One of the most rewarding parts of caregiving for me is building meaningful relationships with the people I care for. I enjoy providing companionship, listening to their stories, encouraging independence, and helping them feel valued and respected. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for a loved one requires a tremendous amount of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your loved one needs a few hours of companionship, help with everyday activities, respite for family caregivers, transportation and errands, personal care, or more consistent in-home support, my goal is always to provide dependable, respectful, and compassionate care. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can depend on and to make a positive difference in your loved one’s everyday life. Your loved one deserves to feel safe, heard, respected, and cared forand that is exactly the kind of care I strive to provide.
