About kacy

I am currently a full time medication technician and caregiver for a beautiful senior living and memory care facility in Rocklin, California. I have never loved a job more, and I truly feel a calling for this work. However, with 3 school age children, I'm needing to create a better work - life balance without completely giving up the work I love. I am a certified pharmacy technician. I am currently certified in CPR, First aid, and am a licensed Home Health Aid. I transitioned into this kine of work from pharmacy when my grandmother began battling dimentia. I knew that my family was lucky enough to find care within the family, but that many families aren't as fortunate... so my goal is to be the caregiver I would have wanted for my own grandmother, had I not been able to care for her myself. I take a family placing their trust in me very seriously, and I take a client's needs, rights, dignity, and boundaries VERY seriously. I would love to find a family to work with that needs any and types of care, sporadically, or on a regular basis, as it fits their lives, and my own.

For 4 years I was responsible for medication management, bathing, bathroom help, cooking and cleaning. The patient was battling dementia and severe depression after losing her husband. Our days consisted of breakfast, a walk, or time in the garden, playing cards, painting, doing crossword puzzles, and wonderful long talks. Of course sometimes it was just nice to sit together quietly.

I am personable and enjoy being a home care provider. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help others by assisting them with their activities of daily living. I enjoyed caring for many seniors over the years and learned quite a lot from them. I believe I'm a great caregiver because I have had extensive training in a skilled nursing facility as well as in many private homes. I also enjoy seeing the difference that I often make in people's lives. I became a nursing assistant back in 1982 and acquired my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license at the convalescent hospital where I worked. I then went on to work for several home care agencies and acquired my Certified Home HeaIth Aide (CHHA) license. I have worked as an independent contractor caregiver for years. I am willing to commute for full-time employment. I have great references and will be happy to submit them upon request.
