About Me

When I was younger, I did not have the opportunity to grow up with my mother. Later in my life, we reconnected and I've learned a lot from that experience. We all need somebody and we all need things in life. I'm able to give care with my heart. It's not just about getting paid, it's about enjoying what I'm doing. I'm very social. I'm a good listener and I take criticism well. I like to make people feel comfortable. I like to work together with my clients. I like environments that are conducive to both me and the clients. I like to encourage clients to never give up. I make sure to create a balance with my clients. I don't take things too personally. I'm always happy, singing and dancing. It's about being yourself and enjoying what you're doing. For fun, I like to go to the gym. I love to dance. I also like to drive around and go out do dinner.

Recommendations

Petra is far and away the best aide my mother has ever had. She is attentive, diligent, proactive, and communicative in dealing with the needs of a vulnerable person in a fragile emotional state. She is a warm, upbeat person with a very sweet, caring, and patient nature, who takes her work and the responsibilities entailed seriously. My mother is always glad to see her, as she is sure to brighten my mother's day. Petra worked 12-hour daytime shifts for almost five months until March 2022, but her availability changed and if not for that, she would still be working with us now

Petra worked for my mother for almost three years ending in late 2021 and my mother adored her. My mother needed general help with bathing and dressing, supervision, meals, and light housekeeping. Petra is a pleasure to work with and she is a very responsible, conscientious, and sweet caregiver. There was a period of time when my mother needed constant medical attention and we felt very confident that she was in Petra's good care. She started out working fill-in shifts and then worked steadily as either a live-in caregiver or doing 12-hour shifts when we needed them. My mother was very fond of her as was the rest of our family. Her availability changed and she could no longer work the hours we needed or else we would still be working with her.

- Dianne N., LeanOnWe Customer, New Jersey

Petra was a live-in caregiver for my mom for 3-4 days/week from November 2015 until she passed in May 2016. My mom had suffered from dementia and diabetes. Petra took care of mom's daily living needs and ran the household with a smile on her face. She is hardworking, humble, and very caring. My mother was a difficult person, but somehow Petra found a way into her heart. I wholeheartedly recommend Petra as a caregiver.

- Paula Y., New Jersey

My mother was in a car accident and needed assistance while she recovered from her injuries. Petra worked Friday-Sunday from March 2016-July 2016 as a companion until mom was able to be on her own again. Petra helped with showering and dressing, prepared meals, and kept the house tidy. When I asked her to do something specific, I knew that it would be done. She is a good listener and she smiles a lot. Petra is a good worker and I recommend her.
