About Leonia

I have a very outgoing personality and can get along with just about anybody, im very easy going caring and compassionate. I have been doing caregiving work for 22 years on and off. I have worked for companies as well as done it on my own. I am a natural born caregiver, i have always enjoyed taking care of other people. I have worked with all ages and all types. I have experience in developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, health issues, dietary issues, stroke recovery, post surgical and elderly care to list a few. To me caregiving is very rewarding to help people live their lives to the fullest. I was a single momma of 3 and i put myself through nursing school for my RN. The only thing i have left to get my RN degree is the clinicals and i WILL accomplish it if its the last thing i do.

At home personal caregiver to an elderly man with dementia amd cancer. I would take him to the store and run any errands he wanted done or take him to do it so he could keep his independence. I would clean his house, cook, do laundry, help him bathe, change his bedding, heloed woth hygiene because he had incontinent issues so i talked him into tryong depends because he would get so embarrassed in public and would smell. I helped him with his finances, his wife had passed away from cancer about 5 years before i started helping him. Basically i did anything he needed help with.

I always try to go above and beyond and will offer help, even if it wasn't asked. I anticipate needs and try to connect personally so that my clients enjoy my company and not just the tasks I perform.

I am very caring with a deep understand of mental illness and plans to be a therapist. The idea of helping others and giving back are what started this journey, to see a client truly happy with what we can do together brings me a joy I cannot describe. Growing up I found my solace in music and worked my way to first chair in my orchestra I now realize what music can bring to many peoples lives. I can say that I truly love my job and giving a fresh perspective for care particularly in cases of Alzheimer's and dementia. Feel free to ask me for a reference!
