Elder Care in Ames, Iowa

I'm an
Individual
Since 2008, my husband assisted me in providing quality, in-home child care to mostly preschool- and after school-aged children which included regular trips to the library, parks, and local pet stores. We are transitioning from providing child care in our home to assisting disabled and elderly in their home due to my husband's compromised immune system as a result of chemotherapy that requires us to reduce exposure to children's viruses and germs. That is motivation for transitioning from caring for children to adults. Personable, trustworthy, kind, caring, and experienced caregivers, we offer companionship, transportation, light housekeeping, food preparation, daily hygiene assistance, and help with managing medications. Specialized experiences and knowledge include meal preparation within the parameters of special diets (renal, cardiac, low carb/sugar), ileostomy site cleaning/bag changing, and maintaining daily weight and blood pressure readings and records.
