Sylvia’s Bio
I believe my extended experience with seniors who have had Alzheimer’s, Vascular Dementia and Dementia and patients recovering from operations, as well as Hospice patients over the last 10 years has awarded me the confidence and capability to lovingly care for your family member. I have excellent references. I can pass a background check and have held a top-secret security clearance when I worked with the DOD back in the day before contracts were shipped over seas. I do have a background check on this site.
My skills include dispensing medication, doctor appointments, bathing, grooming, restroom needs, feeding, preparing meals, light housekeeping, companionship, transferring (i.e. wheel chair to bed), oxygen, circulation massaging for swelling, nurturing, caring, observant, loving, good at telling them stories, (I love to make people laugh and make them happy), paying bills, running errands, pet care and vet appointments, I do a lot of helping with phones and computers too! It seems to be a requirement! I may be teasing, but I am technologically savvy. This is just to name a few. Over the years it seems I have done it all.
I have additionally provided regular care for the 2 special-needs children of a friend, so he has relief. I also have taught parents with children, who have disabilities, coping skills, so they can deal with their everyday living situations, which are very challenging. I successfully tutored a 5 year-old boy in English and he has since passed his ESL test with flying colors.
A little bit about me personally. I am an artist in the local community as well as having work sold to collectors abroad. I also enjoy making art, which is painting and I also, up-cycle, I love spending time with my two Chihuahuas Grace and Picasso, cooking, gardening, yard sales, museums, galleries, and spending time in NYC where I went to college.

Sylvia watched our newborn son full time. We would have loved to use her longer but our situation changed. She took wonderful care of him, was very dependable, and our son adored her.
