Deborah’s Bio
I have tremendous patience and compassion and a very good sense of humor and appreciation of people of all ages. I am a storyteller, musician and artist.
I took care of my mom for the last two years of her life and it was a huge blessing for me to have that beautiful experience. I value the rich experience and wisdom our seniors have to share in many ways..not the least of which is just being themselves.
My background as a teacher and storyteller, inter-generational story-making facilitator, musician and my long experience babysitting enrich and inform my work with seniors.
I am interested in part-time companion work. I am not looking for care-giving duties, but rather to be someone to engage the person and offer creative and compassionate quality-of-life companionship.
I have many excellent professional and personal references. Thank you! -

Reviews
Devorah has been with our five year old son August, for the past two and a half years. Devorah's gentle nature and flexibility made her the perfect fit for us. She is always flexible with my hectic work schedule. She has also shown compassion and offered much help and support when I was very uncomfortably pregnant with my second child. I remember her making me healthy smoothies and bringing them to my bedside! Devorah also brings a unique set of skills and talents while caring for our son. We appreciate her Early Childhood teaching background and child development education as well as her understanding of special needs issues. Devorah's expertise in music, art, writing and teaching, and her general love of cultivating his learning is perfect for the family looking for a baby sitter who will provide eclectic activities for their child, going above and beyond the generic care giving description. Devorah has a great appreciation for my son's wild imagination and together, they wrote a book about his fictional but often talked about "Cuddlytown". Her love and understanding and rapport with our son August has allowed her to be a great help to him both emotionally and educationally. I am sure that you will find Devorah trustworthy and reliable, imaginative and nurturing. We know that August feels understood, safe, loved, secure and truly recognized with Devorah. P.S. She also got him to eat organic quinoa and kale! Jaime V.
