About David

Hello. I didn't know it but in 2004 I began my career as a CNA. My brother was diagnosed with COPD and my Mother & I took care of John until his passing in October 2011. But in 2004 I also started working for an elderly couple in the Broadmoor area. I mainly worked with the male client the most, of course. I helped Jake with getting dressed, taking baths, eating and daily exercises (both physical and mental). Jake was a great man but he passed away at 91 years old in 2012. Now just three days before his passing, the family asked me to work an overnight shift with a hospice nurse. I helped her with Jake that night and at the end of the shift, she told me I should go get my CNA certification because, she said, I was a natural. So I went to Nurse Nancy and was certified in April, 2013. Now I haven't worked for anyone but the family I've been working for since 2004. Mrs.W**** likes me very much but she has recently become ill to where I'm just not sure what's going to happen,so I thought I'd better start applying.I am certified until 2/2016 and I have really good references. One of them is from a daughter of the couple I've been working for the last ten years. She works at one of the biggest hospitals in Denver as the Chief Patient Experience Officer and she will tell you how much her parent's have enjoyed having me their with them. A brief description of myself. I am 53 years old, 6'1" tall, weigh 200 pounds, brown hair with hazel-green eyes. I am able to lift 75 pounds or more.

I am Patient, very compassionate, detail oriented, and loving. My granny also known as my best friend had became very ill around 2013/2014 and my mother worked a full time job, she didn't have anyone to help her take care of my granny so I told my mother that I would provide for her. I took care of her day in and day out, I enjoyed bonding with her and getting to know and understand her interest. It allowed me to care for someone else aside from myself and build a remarkable bond. That experience encouraged my choice in major for college. I chose to go to school for nursing minoring in CNA and for Pre-Med to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. It is my passion to help others regardless of their circumstances.

Hello, I'm Nicole and I was raised In Germany and Denmark before moving to the USA with my mom in ...well a long time ago. Growing up in a diverse social service worker household, where my Summers and all my school breaks were spent in camps and day cares with kids/adults with special needs, I never considered a career in anything BUT taking care of others. I remember my Great grandma going through the stages of Alzheimers and not fully understanding this, but feeling that she needed lots of love. While so many people are unhappy about their employment I feel blessed to have mine. I'm happy to say that I love doing what I do and I get to do it 24/7It is not a job to me it is my life, my history and my future. I am a highly energetic woman and I love to bring joy to others. At the same time, I'm patient and compassionate and I respect that everyone's situation is unique and needs to be treated as such. I spent nearly 20 years in case management and I came to realize how much I missed Direct Care, especially after taking care of my daughter. One of my favorite sayings is " It is an honor to take care of the ones that once took care of us' I have many many years of experience in a very diverse Social Service background and I don't shy away from any responsibilities. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope you find the best match for your family member, yourself or your ward. It could be me.....
