Active & Engaging Companion | Healthcare Professional | Passionate Musician & Volunteer I am a vibrant woman in my 50s who thrives on connection and creativity. My hobbies include reading, crochet, quilting, and gardening, and I’ve recently embarked on the rewarding journey of researching my family history through Ancestry. As an amateur musician, I enjoy playing various instruments and currently perform with the a cappella choir, Soundcrowd. Volunteer Experience: I am deeply committed to giving back to my community, with a focus on enriching the lives of others: Sewing Hub Volunteer: Assist with sewing classes, create patterns and materials, and engage with the community at special events. Elder Companion: Provide companionship and enrichment to elderly women aging at home, fostering meaningful connections. Sewing Instructor: Teach Sewing 101 at Inglenook Community High School, inspiring students with the joys of crafting. Adult Literacy Tutor: Help adults enhance their reading skills at St. Christopher House, empowering them to achieve their goals. Professional Background: With a strong background in healthcare, including healthcare research and work in various non-profit organizations and an audiology clinic, I have dedicated about 20 years to the massage profession. Additionally, I am trained as a Physiotherapy Assistant/Occupational Therapy Assistant (PTA/OTA) and have gained valuable experience in a long-term care facility. What I Offer: I understand the importance of companionship and enrichment for those aging in place. I can provide assistance with: Physical Activity & Outings: Encouraging movement and engagement with the world. Stimulating Conversation: Creating meaningful dialogue that fosters connection. Hobbies & Crafts Support: Assisting with personal interests and projects. Cooking Assistance: Helping prepare meals and fostering a love for cooking. Note: I do not drive but am more than happy to walk or use TTC/uber to get around. Throughout my adult life, I have enjoyed serving as a companion on a part-time basis, often for friends and acquaintances. Most recently, I supported a wonderful 95-year-old woman in my neighborhood, enriching her days with companionship and care.

Throughout my adult life, I have had the privilege of serving as a companion, often on a part-time basis for friends and acquaintances. Most recently, I provided companionship to a remarkable 95-year-old woman in my neighborhood, enriching her daily life through meaningful conversation and support. In addition to my hands-on experience, I am trained as a Physiotherapy Assistant/Occupational Therapy Assistant (PTA/OTA), and have worked for almost 20 years in the massage industry. Through my coursework, I gained valuable insight, which included practical experience in a long-term care facility. This blend of personal and professional experience equips me to offer compassionate, attentive care to those in need. I would love to provide stimulating conversation and companionship to your loved ones. I also enjoy many hobbies, including crochet, knitting, board games, and gardening, and it would give me great pleasure to share these experiences in any role.
