Private Client
Housekeeper / Caregiver·2013 – 2023
Initially focused on maintaining the household for an elderly couple, including deep cleaning, laundry, ironing, preparing nutritious meals, and accompanying clients to social appointments. As the role evolved following a dementia diagnosis, responsibilities expanded to full-time caregiving, including medication management, monitoring vital signs, and safety supervision to prevent wandering and manage confusion.

Monitored vital signs, coordinated with medical teams and family members to report changes in health, and assisted with all activities of daily living including bathing, dressing, and incontinence care. Implemented cognitive engagement activities such as music therapy, photo memory sharing, and simple puzzles to slow cognitive decline and improve mood.
