Young and Old Hands

Decompress. Unwind. Stimulate YOUR mind.

I’m Nick, and I’ve been where you are. For over 10 years, I cared for my dad, who was fully dependent on me for everything. I understand the challenges, the weight, and the rewards that come with caregiving.

This site is for caregivers like you. I’ve created it to share what I’ve learned—simple, real advice to make your journey a little easier. Whether you need resources, guidance, or just someone who gets it, I’m here to help.

About Me

Family Caregiver with 10+ years of experience

Hello and welcome! My name is Nick, and I have been a family caregiver to my father for over 10 years. During this time, I had the privilege of caring for my fully-paralyzed father, learning firsthand the challenges and rewards of caregiving. I've also gained invaluable experience hiring, training, and managing both private and agency caregivers, which has given me a deep understanding of the caregiving industry.

Caring for a loved one with a chronic illness or disability is demanding and often overwhelming, but it can also be deeply rewarding. Through my journey, I’ve learned important lessons in patience, resilience, and self-care, and I'm proud to have been a dedicated son and support to my father. Now, I want to share that experience and insight with others who are on their own caregiving path.

In addition to my family caregiving experience, I spent over 3 years working as a support coordinator for special needs adults. I served as a trusted advisor to over 60 individuals and their families across two counties. I earned my SC certification through a collaboration with the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities and The Boggs Center at Rutgers University. I take great pride in my work as a Support Coordinator and am passionate about helping others navigate their caregiving challenges.

Thank you for visiting my page! I hope you find the resources and support here helpful as you navigate your caregiving journey. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need guidance or have any questions. I’m here to help.

Best,

Nick
