About Rebecca

Being a caregiver is an incredibly rewarding job for me. I love the unique bond that is formed under the complex circumstances of caregiving. My patience make me a good fit for this job, and I believe my patience comes from a place of compassion. I was actually intimated by the idea of being a caregiver before I started working in the field for the first time because it seemed like a lot of responsibility. I got my first job as a Nurse Aide when my mother recommended me to her boss. I found out I was right and that it IS a lot of responsibility, but that's what made it so fulfilling to me. It was more than just a source of income. It was the satisfaction of knowing I made someone's day easier and hopefully better.

Home Health Aide

Bayada Home Health Care
I'm currently an employee of Bayada in Tempe, but I was originally hired in the Tucson East location. I've yet to be assigned hours here since moving to Mesa in July. The work entailed is different for every employee, but in general includes ADL's, personal care, light cooking and cleaning, etc. All of this is done in the client's home, as Bayada is a home health agency.

Nurse Aide

Nov 2011 - Mar 2012
Turlock Residential
This job was at a long-term care facility. The residents at this facility required varying levels of care, with some being independent and others being in hospice. Work here included assisting residents in maintaining personal hygiene (bathing/dressing/brushing teeth/styling hair, etc.), incontinence care, answering call lights, doing laundry and some light housekeeping, serving food, etc. I worked with several residents who were experiencing memory loss and other cognitive issues. This was very rewarding work, but I left this company to work more hours as a personal caregiver.
