Lena’s Bio
I have been both a nanny and caregiver for the past 12 years. I cared for both of my parents during their last years in both their home and in mine until they passed. Currently I have been caring for a private client that is 86 years old with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. She is being moved into a Memory Care Facility this month after caring for her for two years.
Prior to that I cared for a 78 year old client that had Dementia for over 2 years until she was moved to a Memory Care Facility.
Prior to that my private client was a 92 year old gentleman requiring 24 hour care. He had Macular degeneration and was wheelchair-bound and required much assistance including fall risk, medication prompting, breathing treatments, bathing, exercising of limbs, feeding, dressing, toilet assistance, catheter care, companionship and friendship. I took care of him until he passed.
I was also a private nanny for a year for a 4 year old preparing her for entering school. Also a private nanny for 2 sisters one newborn and the other 4 years old to give their Mom reprieve for a 6 month period.
My caregiving started with my local Bed & Breakfast that I owned and operated for 12 years. I cared and cooked and baked fir thousands of guests over the years. I am a gourmet cook and my passion is baking.
I have a spotless DMV record and am a non-smoker and comfortable with pets.
I hope I can be of assistance for caring for your loved one.
