About Heather
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I currently have 15 yrs experience as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in a sub acute rehabilitation setting which has provided me skilled, technical training along with the fundamentals of care giving along with 20 years of personal care experience with the elderly population. This has given me experience with many different ailments, personalities, and perspectives. I am very empathetic and extremely patient with a knack for being persuasive, but not pushy. I am knowledgeable in my trade, resourceful and adaptable to my surroundings. As a personal assistant, I can provide a wide range of assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, grooming, assisting with ambulation or transferring & toileting. In addition, I can also assist with shopping, meal preparation, appointments, transportation, laundry, leisure activity & companionship.

Our family worked with Heather to hire an amazing caregiver named Mel. She supported our father through his final year of dementia and health problems until he passed away in 2021. We loved her compassion and caring that she delivered to not only our Dad, but our whole family. She is such a great person that we have kept her on a few days a week to help with our Mom who just enjoys having a companion and someone to help around the house. We adore and highly recommend Mel!
