About Rita
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am an LCSW/LMSW/LPMFT. I possess 13 years of experience working with the elderly as well as professional knowledge of this population. I have engaged with individuals that suffer from Dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. I am able to perform various daily tasks or just to keep your loved one safe and comfortable and providing companionship. I have my own transportation, a clean driving record, and I prefer evening or night shifts and will work weekends. I'm passionate about working with them and what I do as I think they are an often forgotten part of society and they tend to be invisible to many people. This population is vital and should be respected, and cared for in a way that gives them dignity and worthiness. I have found that I have broadened my personal and professional perspective along with my education by engaging with them on a regular basis. I hope to meet with you soon. Thank you!

Rita is taking care of my mother, who has dementia. She is very patient, thorough and keeps her calm. I appreciate all she does to keep my mom in a happy environment. She is her companion and her aid and it gives me peace of mind to know she is in her care. My mothers mood swings and her need to leave never phases Rita and somehow she gets her back on track. I highly recommend her.
