Amy M. Care Companion in Marmora, NJ 08223

I am a compassionate, reliable, and patient woman in her late 40s who will care for you or your loved one as if they were my own. My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and I became her primary care giver. I am a retired teacher and knew how to care for young children but had never cared full time for an adult. Quickly I became educated in the disease and the therapies available as well as the intense care that my mother would require.My mother's care included: assistance getting out of bed, bathing, making her meals, logging and administering medications, massaging her for good circulation, reading her books, doing laundry, errands, and encouraging her to keep fighting each day. I worked alongside her doctor's, PT, nurses, and hospice each step of her journey. It was a priviledge to care for my mother, and the experience grew my heart for people who are in need of care. I am available to help those who need support for a loved one or an individual looking for their own personal care. I am flexible, organized, honest, and I love people.
