About Carrie

I chose to become a caregiver because I want to make a difference in other people's lives. I believe it is important for people to be able to stay in their home throughout their lives if they so choose. Of course, it takes a lot of care and support to make that happen. Due to my own personal experience loving an elderly mother with severe Alzheimer's, I feel this gives me an insider's perspective as to what people are going through on this difficult journey. I have extensive experience in home care, extended care, and acute care and Would appreciate the opportunity to bring thee skills into your home to help you care for your loved one in a compassionate and empathetic manner.

Dignity Health
As an emergency room technician, I assist the nurses in obtaining vital signs, putting the patients on monitors, providing support for traumas, performing EKGs, assisting patients with the activities of daily living, and providing basic first aid care and comfort measures as needed. I also perform unit support activities, such as transporting patients, stocking the unit and cleaning work areas. In addition to these duties, I report observations regarding patient status to the registered nurse on duty.
