About Brandy

I believe it is a gift I've had since a child. I enjoy taking care of others and seeing smiles on faces when I come through the door because the care I give is compassionate, selfless, and understanding. Caregiving is being a giver. I don't look at it as a job getting paid. I look at it as a way of life, doing for those who are unable to do for themselves without hindering what they can do, but assisting and helping them to be able to live life without feeling burdened. There are many personal achievements but through those achievements comes humility and humbleness. I set out goal for anyone I care for. One is teaching to communicate, assisting with walking, excercise, teaching how to cook healthier and much more. I've taken wounds and helped them wither close or become much smaller than what they were. Helped residents eat healthier and some were able to get off of medications they were once taking only by doctor's order. It is very exciting to see results of healing and getting well and or in the last days of life just being there to be an ear to hear. Showing love is the main key to happiness. I have love deep in my heart. I am a driven, fun, silly, love to laugh and learn new things. I do my best to live a balanced life and making sure I do my best in all that I do.
