Monica’s Bio

As a compassionate and patient caregiver, I bring a unique combination of professional skills and personal experience to companion care. With my background in Business Management, First Aid, and CPR certification, along with OSHA safety training, I understand the importance of both safety and engaging companionship for seniors. My multilingual abilities, including American Sign Language and basic proficiency in Spanish, Korean, and Dutch, allow me to communicate with seniors from diverse backgrounds.

I chose to become a care companion because I believe in creating meaningful connections while helping seniors maintain their independence and quality of life. My experience as a mother of three has enhanced my ability to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to different needs and personalities. I excel at providing companionship through conversation, reading, playing cards, or simply being a good listener.

I'm comfortable assisting with daily activities, meal preparation, medication reminders, and accompanying seniors to appointments or social activities. My organizational skills help me maintain clear communication with family members about their loved one's well-being, while my calm and reliable nature makes me someone both seniors and their families can count on. I take pride in helping seniors stay active, engaged, and connected to their community while respecting their independence and dignity.

I can provide transportation services and am happy to assist with errands, grocery shopping, or attending social activities. As someone who grew up around animals and has extensive pet care experience, I'm also comfortable in homes with pets and can help care for them as needed.
