Fourteen years ago, I embarked on my journey as an independent caregiver for the elderly, initially stepping into this role by chance while helping a friend of a friend. Throughout the years, I have cared for individuals facing various ailments that affected their daily lives, including:
-
All stages of Dementia

-
Heart Conditions
-
Kidney Disease
-
Cancers
-
Brain Disorders

Age
Many of my clients lived with working family members or independently, and some required around-the-clock care. This experience has sharpened my ability to think quickly and manage unexpected challenges while being loyal and trustworthy.
A significant aspect of elderly caregiving is that all my clients eventually pass away, and I have been present for nearly all of them during their final moments, providing End of Life care while gradually understanding the depth of my role.
In 2023, I chose to become certified as an End of Life Doula, referring to my work as "Caregiver to the Dying." Since then, I have supported numerous individuals and their families through the dying process.
