David’s Bio

I am recognized for my abundant patience, kindness, politeness, and caring for others. I have the experience of taking care of my 90+ year old mother and my wife who has had many health problems in the past few years including fibromyalgia, recent hip replacement, and advanced arthritis to name a few. My wife has urged me to become a companion to the elderly because she said I was so caring and patient that she thought that was my calling in life. I do not have any certified medical education, but I am very capable of taking care of anyone that does not have urgent care needs. Two of my wife's doctors commented that they noticed how well I took care of my wife and contributed to her well-being.

I also have experience with pet sitting. We have had a pet sitting business since 2005. In that time, we have encountered several animals that the owner told us will bite or does not like men. The two "biters" were perfectly fine with me and my wife and the animals that "hated men" never avoided me and would let me hold and pet them.
