Laura Z. Care Companion in Urbandale, IA 50322

Hello! I'm very easygoing and likeable! I have my own transportation and will help with rides to/from appointments. Very happy to help with cleaning, meal prep, engaging in activities and just being a friend! CPR certified and have several years experience with infection control and caring for elderly people in a healthcare dental setting. I know it's hard to find people you trust to help take care of your loved ones, and I would love to be someone that shows the world still has decent humans and love to provide!

I have been taking care of a 79-year-old woman who has frontal lobe dimentia for the last 9 months. I take her to appointments, we go shopping and out for walks in the parks. I help her with her medications and ensure she takes them when she is supposed to. We do crafts together and I help her get personal care items when we go shopping. I take her to her appointments, take care of her medications and refills, and make her high protein snacks. She really likes to eat sweet things, so I try to compromise by making them high protein!
I also have been taking care of an elderly man in his 80's with vascular dimentia for the last 10 months as well. He has incontinence issues so I help him with showering and physical therapy. I help his wife with cleaning as well around their home.
I do some light cleaning and provide meal prepping for both of them.

I am looking for full time hours. The woman I have been helping is going to a facility soon.

I have references available if you would like to talk to the families that I help.
