About Elizabeth

Hi, my name is Elizabeth, but I go by Liza. I am by nature an artist, but also a natural caregiver. Although I originally got an AA degree in Art, I had more education, including 2 yrs of pre-med. I found myself taking a massage therapy course, which I loved. I spent a number of yrs working as a massage therapist specializing in pain relief, both chronic & acute. Right around the time the work was slowing down, my mother started wanting companionship & someone there when she went to bed so I began going over to her house every evening & staying until after she went to sleep. There were also periods when she needed to be driven to doctors appt. s, & I drove her there & on errands & shopping. I spent 3 of her last 4 yrs caregiving for her. 4 of the past 5 yrs I have worked as a live-in caregiver for a retired physician with a chronic back disability, & slowly deteriorating mobility & dementia, plus taking care of her 2 little doggies. This past year I've worked part-time caregiving jobs.
