About Jessica

My name is Jessica. I have been a certified nurse aide since 2013 and have worked in a variety of settings as a CNA and medication technician including assisted living, memory care and skilled facilities. I have also spent time as a resident care coordinator and memory care director for major assisted living companies. I take pride in my role as a caregiver as I feel everyone should be cared for the way I would care for my own mum. I started out as a caregiver because I needed a job when my husband became disabled. What was just a job became a passion. I had no idea that helping people throughout the day would be so rewarding. I got my CNA shortly after and began the QMAP class as well. I enjoy caregiving because it allows me to meet and learn from people I never would have before. Because of the number of relationships I have built over the years - I have taken on hobbies that I didn't even know existed. One of my residents taught me how to knit and crochet. Another, gave me my first piece of carnival glass and my collection is now over 100 pieces strong! I am always eager to learn from the people I connect with, because we all have something to share with one another, and I am so glad that I was given this path to follow.

I am a great caregiver because I'm kind, compassionate, and outgoing. I became a caregiver because I really enjoyed my time caring for a stroke survivor for 5 years. It gave me satisfaction in knowing I made a difference in someone's day. I enjoy helping people and truly think this is my purpose in life!

Hi there, my name is Abby and I have been working in caregiving/healthcare for about 8 years. My mother worked as a CNA her whole life. I would often volunteer in the facilities she worked at, and I started as a CNA myself when I was 16. I have experience in a variety of healthcare settings, from home care to facilities to pharmacies to disability care. I have completed extensive training in Alzheimer's and dementia care, intellectual and developmental disabilities and basic life support and first aid. I have always been passionate about helping people and I love being able to help seniors stay in their homes and maintain their independence. Being able to form connections with clients, getting to know what they enjoy, and supporting them in continuing to the things they love is very important to me. I look forward to helping you or your loved one enjoy their best life!
