About Kelly

I am a compassionate and professional caregiver with 21 years of experience. I have work with various agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area (California), privately, and here in Denton County. I provide loving and tender care to those in need. I work well with the family to establish best care possible for family member. I have experience in Hospice, ALS, Quadriplegic, and Dementia care. I also provide respite care, companion care, help with daily needs and activities, meal prep, light housekeeping, and medication management. Experienced with wound care, tracheotomy and ventilation care, Holier lifts, bed-bound care, G-tube feeding and care, bowel regiment, Diabetic care and administering insulin. I work well with other medical providers such as doctors, nurses, physical therapist, etc. CPR/AED/ First Aide certified. In my years of providing care, I have come to realize that caring for others is a special calling, not everyone can do it. It takes humility and loving kindness, integrity and loyalty to care for someone. Learning to understand the needs of a person as an individual and adapting to provide them with the best care you can give is a must. Families allowing others to care for their love one seek a person they can truly trust and have confidence in. Not everyone is a perfect fit, however, I can say that with all the clients I have cared for, their family has become my family. Bonds are made and friendship that last a long time.

I'm a great caregiver for these reasons, I'm dependable,punctual,eager to learn,eager to help, I get alone with any and everyone,including pets.I was created for this field.I have compassion for what I do & also for the seniors I help. I am also a medical assistant. I love my career with such a passion that I knew at a young girl I wanted &needed to be in the medical field. I love been a helping hand to somsomeone that needs, or don't mind my help. I'm also a companion,friend to whomever I assist but we also become family from the time we spend together.I get to know who they are and they also get to know me.I TRULY LOVE WHAT I DO! I am a genuine person. I'm asked ?, how do I go out and beyond, honestly I don't I'm only doing a job I'm in love with. I want to assist the client and their families to maintain some normalcy in their lives. We (client, family, myself)change each other's lives. I don't consider my career a job as I love for I do. My reward doing what I love is the smiles I put on others face and the satisfaction of keeping my client safe, happy healthy, mobile and young, regardless of age or disability
