Our Associates

My name is Helia Aguilar and I am very excited to start this new job at AYSFS. I am a PSW, I have 3 wonderful children and my best friend, my husband.  Helping others and being able to take care of people is very important to me, so I am very excited to have this opportunity to do so. I like to share time with my family, dance salsa and cook, especially Colombian food. I like to share this quote. Kindness: Doesn't cost a thing, yet it's the richest gift you can give.

Hello, my name is Claudia. I am very pleased to have this opportunity to be part of the AYSFS team, working with seniors. I'm from Brazil and as soon as I arrived in Canada, I realized that this would be my new home. Since I started working for an elderly couple, I had no doubts that I came to another country to find my true purpose in life, which is to look after people who need care. I still have a lot to learn and I have learned many extraordinary things so far, as well as making new friends, which is one of the things I really love. Thank you for letting me experience this amazing work. 

A few years ago I was fortunate to be accepted as a hospice volunteer.  It involved a significant amount of training which has proved to be very useful in my life. It is such an honour to be along side families and residents in their final days.  I have always enjoyed the company and wisdom of seniors so being an Associate is a very satisfying role for me. I count it a blessing to be a part of a caring team of like minded caregivers. 

Hi my name is Donnette and I'm happy to be a part of the AYSFS team!  I am a proud mother of three amazing kids and grandmother of one adorable granddaughter.

Hi, my name is Paige and I’m happy to be a part of the AYSFS team. I like the outdoors and love animals. I’ve enjoyed my time working for this company as it has allowed me to meet a lot of amazing people. The seniors I’ve had the opportunity to meet always have the most amazing stories to tell and I could listen to them all day! I’m happy to sit and chat, play games, help with cleaning and cooking. I think it’s so important to allow seniors to be as independent as possible for as long as possible and I’m happy to be a part of an amazing group of people who help make that happen!

My name is Olajumoke (Ola). It is indeed a privilege to serve the Seniors. I started my health care journey from my home country. Having worked with less privilege and physically challenged individuals in my home country and continuing my journey here in Canada has really given the insight into needs of people that are vulnerable. It is my joy to provide that extra care at all times and to make someone feel special. I advocate for my clients needs as much as the care I provide for them. I love to cook and create memories with foods. There is simply a special feeling and satisfaction working with seniors and I look forward to that every day. Being a part of the AYSFS team has given me the privilege to continuing my passion.

Therefore, today I hold careers as French Teacher, Tax Consultant, and as a caring Associate for Seniors. Throughout my travels abroad, I have learned about various cultures, had some great experiences, and strengthened my resilience. Being a part of the AYSFS team allows me to continue pursuing my passion for supporting individuals in diverse ways, and to continue making a difference in people's lives.

It is a pleasure to be working At Your Service for Seniors after a long career at the great old Grosvenor Club and as the Banquet Manager at West Haven Golf and Country Club. In 2013 I was diagnosed with tongue cancer and thus began a long journey back to health after not being able to speak or eat real food for over 5 years.  It was a life altering experience that opened my eyes to how many nice people I had looking after me and that is why I am driving and working with seniors. A big shout out to Heather who is always so helpful and makes me laugh which is so important.  I enjoy dog walking, playing bridge and going to shows.

Hi, my name is John. I am so excited to be working as an associate with AYSFS. I recently ended a 30 year career as a social worker in health care. I often worked with seniors in their home helping them to make the necessary changes in order to live independently. During that time, I developed a real understanding and caring for my aging clients. I am really looking forward to serving this population in a more direct, hands-on manner. Together we can make changes for the better.

Working with At Your Service for Seniors allows me a position where I can rely on my strength of nurturing and caring for others. My goal is to provide the best possible care and to fulfill the need seniors have to feel important and vital.  After every visit I leave with a feeling of enjoyment knowing that I was there to spend quality time with them and listen to their incredible life stories.

I look forward to meeting with you and to give a helping hand wherever you may need it.

Hello! My name is Amy, and I am delighted to be a part of At Your Service for Seniors. I am a warm-hearted, energetic, patient, and creative person who enjoys developing meaningful relationships with others. I spent the early years of my career working as a Graphic Designer. After my first son was born I decided to begin a part-time career in Personal Training. I currently teach AquaFit to seniors, and I absolutely love to see the positive impact it has on my client’s lives. I have two young boys who keep life active and exciting, as well as a wonderful husband to whom I’ve been married for 10 years. I have a very close relationship with my Grandmother. I spend time with her at least once a week and enjoy listening to her reminisce about her childhood and marriage. Taking the time to listen and help my Grandmother with daily tasks is rewarding and makes our bond even stronger. I hope I can provide that same kind of support for other seniors. I look forward to the new friendships and adventures that await me with At Your Service for Seniors.

Hello, my name is Holly Williams. I am an army-brat who moved to London in 1986. I became a member of the Parkwood Mental Health Family Advisory Council this year. I also co-facilitate a Family Education class there to support family members with mental illness. I especially became interested in helping people keep their independence when my grandmother had Alzheimer, and when different friends and family members experienced various health problems. Over the years I have volunteered for many causes such as MS Bike ride, Sunfest, El-Systema, CNIB, groups within my church and events at Parkwood. It has provided me with many ways to personally help my friends and community. Initially, I have been a certified Payroll Manager with the Canadian Payroll Association for over 25 years working in both private and public corporations. I also started to prepare personal taxes in the winter. Now I am looking forward to a more people approach to my days through working with At Your Service for Seniors. I have many interests such as live music, plays, cards, travel, walks by the water and my cat! I have even dabbled in Paint-Night and other crafty things. Hopefully I can be of some for help you.

Hello, my name is Lynda and I'm thrilled to be part of the At Your Service for Seniors team. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, my name is Amy. I am a mother of 2 children and have lived in London all my life. I was a small business owner for many years. I love arts & crafts, crocheting, knitting, baking and photography. I'm excited to start my new journey with At Your Service for Seniors. Understanding the value of the comfort of home, I'm happy to help in any way that I can.

Hi! I have been helping seniors in their homes for the past 7 years. It is my passion and joy to spend time with seniors and I have come to love and respect their wisdom gleaned from their life experiences. As they face challenges in their aging years, it is with kindness and patience that I seek to help them overcome. I am very glad to be joining the At Your Service for Seniors team.

Hello, My name is Tracy. I am a wife and a mother to a 17 year old son. I have lived in London all of my life. Currently I do family home support for a child with disabilities. Before doing support work I was a Travel Agent for 10 years. I enjoy meeting and talking to new people and love hearing about people's life experiences. I believe it is so important for seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible and I feel honoured that I can help make that happen. I believe my purpose in life is to help others. Some of my hobbies and interests are card & board games, cooking, watching classic movies, reading fiction, music, computers & technology and walks with my dog. I look very forward to meeting you and helping in any way that I can.

I have over 30 years customer service experience, 20 in the home health care sector. I helped seniors select mobility equipment, daily living aids, support garments, breast prosthesis and wigs.

I understand fully the challenges seniors face day to day and how they need to be treated with sensitivity and respect. I enjoy being with seniors very much! I find their knowledge and life experiences very interesting. Being able to help them keep their dignity and independence is very rewarding to me and I look forward to giving the best quality service I can give with AYSFS.

On a personal note I am a foodie and music addict who enjoys cooking, music, entertaining and just hanging out with my husband and twin daughters.

After being most fortunate to work 32 yrs in the health care field as part of the non medical health care management team my friend and I had a dream. Our dream was to support seniors to remain living in their home/castle.

In 2007 Joan Turner made that dream come true. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to be part of At Your Service For Seniors from the onset.

Having the opportunity to help someone smile, encourage them to do the best they can do and having them say thank you for being part of my life is the most fulfilling experience anyone could ask for.

My passion is spending quality time with my husband, children and 4 grandchildren as well s working at the family wedding DJ business.

As a parent of teenagers I relish my time with my elderly friends/clients. Whether I am doing dishes while having a discussion about the current state of the world, picking up much needed groceries or just lending a willing hand with housework, I do it with a smile.

I love helping to extend the independent lifestyle of seniors. I enjoy cooking/baking, as evidenced in my employment at Dishington’s Tearoom in Lambeth, reading, spending time with my family and enjoying a cup of coffee over shared wisdom.

Ted has a great sense of humour! He also, as per comments from seniors that have had his assistance, is very caring and considerate – anticipating their needs and responding in a gracious manner.

Ted is very musical and has been honoured with a Juno award for his excellent guitar playing.

My name is Bonnie Pitts and I believe “home is where the heart is”. I feel passionate about assisting seniors to stay in their homes as long as possible. A little help around the house, a listening ear, perhaps the occasional shopping trip may be just

what a senior needs to “feel the love” again. I am a country girl at heart, although I now live in the city with my husband and our 6 year old son. I give to my community by volunteering at my son’s school.

After over 20 years as a massage therapist in London, I moved back to my hometown of Cambridge to care for my mom in her last years. It was the most wonderful experience I ever had and I learned that being of service to seniors was the work I wanted to do the rest of my life.

It took a while to find the right organization when I moved back to London, but when I found AYSFS I knew I was home. I love spending time with seniors, getting to know them and helping them fulfill their needs, wants and accessing things that bring them joy. In my spare time I enjoy walks along the many river trails in London, time with friends. and working with a local cat rescue.

My name is Lesley Neable and I have 4 wonderful children. I have worked in the health field my whole life. Caring for people has always been what I enjoy most so caring for seniors seemed like a natural fit for me.

I love hearing the life stories of my clients as well as news about their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Seniors have lived so much of their lives that it’s a privilege for me to get to assist them in their daily routines and living. I feel blessed to be able to work for AYSFS and to be doing a job that gives dignity, love and care to people who couldn’t deserve it more.

This occupation seemed a perfect fit after caring for my grandfather for 20 years. Seventeen years of that was driving him around for chores and visits to see his friends one day a week. It was a joy to listen to all the stories.

He became ill and it was decided I’d move in to help care for him so he could stay in his own home longer. We’d work on getting the stories down to his pictures for his family tree. The daily news was read to him and discussed at length. He passed away a few years ago. I’ve realized I miss listening to the stories of days past.

I have spent the last decade at home as an at home parent and a childcare provider. I have enjoyed my time with the school aged children in my care over the years but when it came time to look at working outside the home I just knew that it had to be with Seniors. One of my dearest friends was a Senior I met while volunteering at a community centre in Ottawa. He was a wonderful man with a quick wit and I enjoyed spending time with him. I want to offer support to Seniors in their home and assist them in daily activities. I can’t iron, but I can bake and know my way around a vacuum cleaner. When I am not working outside the home I enjoy spending time with my family. I love to read, go for walks, watch movies and spending time with my pets.

I have recently retired after 28 years as a Pharmacy Technician. I was looking forward to the next step in my life. I found that I missed the people who were a daily part of my job. I realized that helping people of all ages was very satisfying to me. That is why I decided to be an Associate for AYSFS. Being able to help a person, whether it is driving them to an appointment, shopping, visit a friend, clean or just sit and talk will not only help them in everyday living but also give me a opportunity to give back. I believe AYSFS is a good fit for me and looking forward to this new phase in my life. I have been married for 43 years to my high school sweetheart (Jim). We have two boys, and 3 lovely grand-girls. Love spending time with them all. I enjoy walking, shopping, attending events, lunches/breakfasts and going to movies with my friends.
