Becky I. Care Companion in Saint Albans, VT 05478

I am a recent graduate with a masters degree in Human Services with a concentration in Gerontology. Presently, I am working per-diem at the Northwest Medical Center as a patient sitter. This is a hands-off position that includes watching the patient so as not to pull out an IV or catheter. I also, notify the staff if assistance is needed with walking and bathroom use. I enjoy interacting with the patients and we often watch television, look at books, or just visit.

I am also skilled in the problems of aging and societal views on aging. I believe that I bring caring and understanding to each person I spend time with. I am 54 years old with life experience. I changed careers late in life because I realize the stigma attached to aging and want to assist others in aging well.
