About Lorretta

I became a caregiver because I am compassionate, empathetic, and I enjoy working with the elderly. I believe our elderly can teach us a lot and we can learn a lot from them; if we would just slow down and listen. I enjoy and derive great satisfaction by helping others; I always have. I have raised two great children by myself and I currently work and continue to take classes. I am constantly learning and experiencing new things and I continue to broaden my horizons. I have worked in the assisted living field for 10 years. My last job was a supervisor role as a medication assistant. I oversaw caregivers and made sure our residents received all the quality care they need. I ordered medication and worked closely with physicians, nurses and Hospice. I worked in the memory care unit and took care of up to 36 residents with Alzheimers/dementia. I am also a medical assistant with a current CPR/first aid certificate. I am able to take blood pressure, monitor blood glucose levels and inject insulin.

    I started by taking Family leave from my job as a Bookkeeper, to care for my Father. I thought at that point 5 years ago, hey I would like to do this for a living. Two years later my Father passed away and I lost my job and began caring for my Mother. At that point I decided to go to school and become certified. Received my CNA in 2013. Have been working since then and love what I'm doing. I am caring, dependable, fun, positive and energetic. I am a team player and can also take the lead. I love to cook, bake and juice. Interested in healthy living. Love walking, music, traveling and especially my family!
