I am friendly and out going, and have a calm head in emergencies. My grandmother and aunt had cancer and wanted to stay in their homes so I helped take care of them until they passed away which s what led me to accept a position in home health care. I feel that people are more comfortable at home surrounded by familiarity and family rather then in hospitals and I enjoy helping them stay as fit and healthy as possible. Getting to know people and learning about what they like is what I enjoy and if it helps their families peace of mind all the better. I also help train service dogs and have both a Dachshund and a German Shepherd that I can bring for visits If you feel pet therapy may help, or if they are used to pets and no longer able to take care of one, that is up to you. I have experience with helping patients recover from surgery and can keep them on track with daily exercise and have no problem changing bandages. I also love reading and music. I am most proud of helping a patient who went through two surgeries at 87 not only get back on her feet but outside taking daily walks.
