Yrs Experience

I am a 63 year old female with 3 grown children. I took on the role as daughter, caregiver, companion for my Mother with Alzheimer's until her passing. I was a Boston Pizza Franchisee Owner/Operator in Grande Prairie Alberta. Partner and Franchisee with Boston Pizza in Peace River and Airdrie. I have plenty of experience in the Construction, Cottage and Residential cleaning field as well. I am a passionate, trustworthy, empathetic, caring & a hard working person. My hobbies and interests would include, reading, walking, biking, skiing, spending time with my kids and my granddaughter. I am always eager to learn new things, taking courses, having balance in my life. I have attained my certificates in Gerontology and Food/Nutrition/Wellness. Graduated May 18th. 2017. I have my Food safe, WHMIS, CPR/AED First Aid Level C and Mental Health first aid certificates as well.

To briefly introduce myself I have over 10 years experience as a caregiver. I cared for my father in his home and hospital setting in 1993 for a few years before his passing. He was a chronic alcoholic, so there were 3 times when his liver shut down. His prognosis was gloomy but I did not give up on my father. I made sure he was well taken care of. I fed him in the hospital for 12 weeks. Over this period I took him to his own home which he so appreciated. It seemed that the hospital staff had given up so the doctors were surprised to see his liver had rejuvenated itself. That personal care turned things around. He had bounced back extending his life for another six months. I am passionate about the care of seniors. I believe that seniors should be able to keep their dignity and independence for as long as possible especially if it's their desire to be in their own home. I cared for my Mother for 8 years with Alzheimer's in her own home. She passed away at the age of 82. I am so glad she was able to be at home.. working in her flower beds, composting, going with the dogs to the park, shopping, having her hair done, paying bills and taking road trips until several bouts of pneumonia landed her in the hospital where she passed away. Additional Experiences/Qualifications: I am a qualified aesthetician, foot care & massage. I am a hairdresser. I currently run my own cleaning and errands business as well. My passion is giving care and independence to seniors.
