Nani G.

Nani was my parents' caregiver from around 2006-2011. My mother had dementia and physically could not take care of herself anymore. My father was physically fine, so Nani assisted him with some things such as cooking and laundry, but she was mainly there for my mother. Nani lived with my parents, which was very helpful because I lived an hour away from them, so I was able to rely on Nani being there for them at all hours. Nani helped my mother with dressing, going to the bathroom, cooking, feeding, and everything in between. She got along great with both of my parents and took great care of them. I didn't want to put my mother in a nursing home, so having Nani there made our lives easier. My mother passed away but I'm very grateful for the care that Nani provided to my family when we needed it.

We referred to Nani as "Tea," and she was without a doubt my mother's angel. Tea is a phenomenal caregiver. My mother was 86 at the time and was failing. My father had just recently died and then my brother passed away. With everything that happened, my mother went downhill from there. This was in 2011. We had a caregiver before Tea and she was horrible. My mom didn't want to tell me how bad she was until I found bruises on her body because she fell under her watch. We fired that woman and hired Tea. The only thing with Tea was that at that time, she had to bring her son with her to live in the house with my mother, but my mother loved children and it was great. (Her son is older now, so she may not have to do that any longer.) Tea did everything for my mom. She bathed her and cooked for her, and my mom was able to use a walker but Tea had to supervise her. Tea took are of my mother's medical needs and knew exactly what to do. I know that my mother loved her, and I can't recommend her highly enough. You won't find anyone better.
