Greetings, I am new to this page and appreciate the opportunity to see what I can offer the Orcas Care Community. I have years of companion care-giving in my long-time island history. I've also been a nanny. I attended San Francisco Art Institute, have worked at The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, Special Education, Art teacher, photographer, poet. I graduated from Marylhurst University in Oregon with art degree. Improv theatre in S.F. If you feel the need for a little more care, support, and creativity in your world - from playing with your life story, in town errands or field trips, a slow-walking buddy, exercise encourager (to music), personal assistant, delicious healthy meals, a listening ear, scheduling help, research on the internet, help with a special project. Fill-in care-giving. I am more of a companion care-giver - assistant - helper. Compassionate, caring, kind, and creative. My lively little non-allergenic dog can accompany me, as appropriate. I am a shorter shift person, in general. Here's to future blossoming and care, as we continue walking the aging process.
