I am not a nurse (I have been a high school English teacher for 34 years), but I enjoy helping people and giving back to my community. I am organized and dependable, but also light hearted, warm, and friendly. I'm a tidy person by nature, like to cook healthy food and work in the yard, and I even like to fold laundry. I've always felt like "an old soul" myself, with a special kinship and deep respect for seniors. I worked in nursing homes throughout my 20's simply because I liked it. I was my mother's full-time caregiver in the last year of her life, and have the utmost respect and appreciation for folks like visiting nurses, social workers and hospice angels. I still work full-time during the school year, so am looking for part-time or fill-in work August - May, with greater availability during June and July. In my spare time, I like to be outside, visit with my grown children whenever possible, and enjoy the company of my big brown dog.

Kristen has been taking my wife who has early Alzheimer's out on walks and outings. Kristen is extremely kind, thoughtful, patient, intuitive, and skillful at reducing tension and drawing out the best in my wife. The two find lots to laugh about! Kristen shares helpful insights with me on what transpires. She is an incredible Angle caregiver, a superlative human being ! Steve
