Claire’s Bio
My mother-in-law came to live with us 11 years ago ,right after she had kidney failure and went on dialysis. At that time, I started driving her to and from her appointments and accompanying her during her various visits. About 3 years ago she started to need more help, which increased over time. I eventually took a course in elder care and got a personal care giver certification and CPR certification; and then started working for her as an approved aide. She also had dementia for years ,which got more pronounced over the last few years.
I assisted her with transitioning, showering, bathing, bed baths, toileting, brief changing, adult diaper changing, grooming, dressing, exercise, medication reminders, eye drops, hearing aide cleaning, placing hearing aides in ear, cooking, laundry, keeping her room nice, etc.
My daughter cerebral palsy. I also work for her now that’s she’s an adult . I assist her with transferring, bathing dressings, grooming, exercise, medication reminders, cooking, laundry, keeping her room nice etc.

Reviews
Claire takes care of our 1.5 year old daughter when we need the help and we’re very grateful to have found her. She is both professional and caring and is always on time. She has also been very adjustable when our schedules didn't line up perfectly and always responds to us swiftly. Most importantly, she treats or daughter extremely well; she is always right behind her ready to play, entertain, or care for her. She is great at nap time and with feeding her milk and solid foods as well. We will always recommend her and will continue to have her care for our daughter for the foreseeable future.
Claire is reliable, kind, communicative, and consistently keeps our child engaged. We appreciate Claire's attention to our child's interests and developmental stages, while offering stimulating activities. Our child's big smile says it all! We highly recommend Claire to other families.
Claire does an amazing job with my 11 month old son. He loves spending time with her and is always happy when she’s around. She is very kind, patient, and fun-loving with Noah. She is also extremely reliable, punctual, and responsive. Claire has made our lives so much easier, and I highly recommend her!
Claire was excellent at taking on my 7 (yes, seven!) foster kittens while I had to go out of town for a week. I know they were well fed, clean, and happy and loving when I returned so I know she did an amazing job. I've used her twice thus far and plan to use her for recurring trips and would highly recommend her! She was great and sent me photos of them while I was away. She also checked my mail and ensured my plants didn't die.
Claire is communicative and responsive. She took the time to speak with me about our pet and sent me updates on our 'trial' sitting. I'm 100% sure our doggo is looking forward to his next stay with her!
We had a wonderful experience with Claire! We left our 10 week old puppy in her boarding care while we were away for an extended weekend. She treated him like he was her own. We received pictures and updates everyday and she stayed on top of all of our detailed puppy care instructions and was always immediately responsive. Highly recommend Claire's boarding services - we will definitely be working with her again!
Claire has been an excellent pet sitter for my 2 cats. She is great at communicating in advance, provides updates about the cats to me while I am traveling, and is very detail oriented. She's also slowly getting my cats to warm up to her, not an easy feat with my somewhat standoffish cats.
