Michelle A.
I am a retired real estate agent who moved to Montreal 3 years ago. My two adult sons live nearby. I am conscientious, empathetic, and have a great work ethic. I do not have a car, but I do have a driver's license and am comfortable driving in Montreal and the surrounding areas. I am in excellent health and walk at least 15 miles a week, and swim in my building's pool weekly. I am also taking French courses.
I worked for a company in Ontario and also here in Montreal, helping two women with dementia and alzheimer's. One lived in a retirement home and the other lived in her own condo. I helped with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, appointments and companionship. Memory activities and speech therapy. I also have experience with progressive aphasia, helping with recovery from hip surgery and stroke. We would also go for short trips to the Jean Talon market or to the mall for an outing, or just walks in the park for fresh air and exercise. I try to find a topic of conversation that will interest them or find an activity they would like, such as scrabble or other board games.
