About Paola

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I cared for one woman for seven years. We did many lovely things together--movies, museums, flower shows, gardening, shopping. I developed a very close relationship with her and her family and extended family. Working with her on a daily basis, we got very close. She had Alzheimer's, which was somewhat controlled for a long time, and then escalated very rapidly in the last few months. She died at the age of 95. Since then, I've worked exclusively with Alzheimer's clients, both men and women. I am committed to providing a warm, loving environment tailored to the individual's need. I am also devoted to helping support the primary caregiver in any way that I can.

Paola is an extremely capable, responsible and caring caregiver. She has an engaging personality and she immediately formed a deep connection with my wife. She is active and energetic and she pursues projects with enthusiasm. Paola is an excellent cook - and my wife and I are the beneficiaries of her culinary skill. I value Paola's service, trust her implicitly and feel very grateful that she is providing service to our family. Shelly K.
