Barbara’s Bio

Hi, I'm Barb.

Although my experience is somewhat limited, I believe it you aren't looking necessarily for certification or licensed nurses, I may be able to help you. To be perfectly honest, my only hesitation is that you mentioned difficulty swallowing.

I'm 56, and a year ago I had some A-Fib issues. A defibrillator and tweaking of the heart (CHF), and suddenly I feel better than I have for literal decades.

Prior to that drama, my mom had breast cancer (I took to every appointment) that metastisized to her brain. She had a headache and we went to the Dr. Long story short- there were 8 tumors and a prognosis of 3-9 months AND from that moment fwd, she couldn't be left alone again. My house was across town but I moved in w her that day and I was lucky enough to spend 6 months enjoying her company despite almost daily visits from hospice.

I also cared for my nieces aunt who had dementia. She was more difficult for obvious reasons. She eventually had to go to a care facility in Roswell, but for well over a year she was managed by my niece and myself.

It wasn't clear if you're wanting full or part time. If you'd like to talk more, I'd like the opportunity to help.
