About Me

As a Ghanian, caring comes naturally. It's part of our culture that we take care of our aged and elderly. When I came to the United States and learned that caregiving is a career, I decided I wanted to do it. It's more like a calling for me. I like to be a companion for my clients. Some of them are lonely and need someone to talk to, and I like to be that person. There's more to caregiving than the money. Listening is sometimes the most important part, from my experience. I'm pleasant and I'm not a loud person, not an in-your-face kind of person. I'm very accommodating, understanding, kind-hearted and supportive. I like to assess the environment or the person before settling in. As a hobby, I love reading. I love criminal novels by authors such as Grisham or Crichton. I also love to read books that are turned into movies.

Adwoa took care of my mother from August to October of 2015 and continued taking care of my father until he passed away in January 2016. My mother had stage 4 cancer and was bed bound and my father suffered from progressive degenerative disease similar to Alzheimer's disease. She was really fabulous with both of them. She took mom out for walks and brought her children in for visits, which really brightened up my mom's final months. My dad was a very private man and Adwoa was gentle and extremely respectful of his situation. Adwoa is a hardworking, patient, kind and generous person. She went above and beyond for my parents and I am eternally grateful for her.

Adwoa cared for my mom from September 2010 until she passed November 2011. My mom suffered from Alzheimer's and required a tremendous amount of care. Adwoa was a good companion, and she also assisted her with toileting, bathing, meal preparation, and medication management. When mom was up to going out, she took her outside for some fresh air and exercise. She is a very hard-working, pleasant individual who has a deep understanding and respect for family. Adwoa is caring and very detail oriented. She absolutely treated my mom as if she were a member of her own family. I feel that we were very fortunate to have such a loving and wonderful caregiver.
