CNA-certified, one-on-one elder care
Your parent gets to know one person, and that person gets to know them: their routines, their good days and hard days, and the small changes that matter.

One caregiver. A few families. Never a rotating staff.
Serving New London County and surrounding areas
What I do
Most families start with one need and add more over time. Nothing has to be explained twice or handed off to someone new.
Calm, patient care built around the person, not a checklist.
Help with the most private parts of the day, with dignity.
Good company, a tidy home and the small things that make a day feel normal.
Why private pay
Agencies do good work and are the right fit for some families. But when consistency is what keeps an older adult calm and safe, hiring a caregiver directly is often the simplest way to get it.
Through an agency
Directly with me
With no agency in between, private care often costs about the same as, or less than, an agency's hourly rate.
Hours, rate and duties confirmed before the first visit. No surprise charges.
Two weeks' notice on either side. Families stay because the care is good.
Some long-term care policies cover private care. Visit notes and invoices are provided on request.

Who you're hiring
I'm a certified nursing assistant, and I've spent my career caring for older adults, much of it in memory care, always one person at a time. My clinical training helps me notice the small changes that matter, like sudden confusion that could signal an infection, or a shaky morning after a medication change.
I started working privately because families kept asking for the same things: the same face, the same routine, and a phone number that reaches the person who actually knows their mom. I keep my client list small on purpose, so I can stay late when something is wrong and remember the little things that make a day feel like home.
Before anything starts, you'll meet me, and so will your parent. If it isn't the right fit for either of us, I'll tell you honestly and help you find someone who is.
“Everyone I care for is somebody's whole world. My job is to be the person that family can finally stop worrying about.”
Getting started
No pressure, no packages, and no commitment until you've met me and seen the plan.
About thirty minutes. Tell me what's going on at home, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
A free visit with your parent and any family who wants to be there, before anyone decides anything.
Hours, rate and what a good day looks like, written down and agreed before care begins.
Start here
You don't need to know exactly what you need yet. Many families start with one worried phone call. Tell me a little, and I'll tell you honestly what I'd do in your shoes.
Press send in your messages or email app and I'll get back to you within one business day. If it's urgent, call (860) 961-9369.
