About Heidi

I have worked with individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for over 20 years in various capacities. I am CPR/First Aid certified and in the past have been certified to work with individuals with behavioral needs. I have a passion for ensuring that individuals live their life to their full potential. Currently I assist with caring for my love one`s mother who is homebound with complex medical needs. Working as a caregiver in the past has been very rewarding as well as full filling. I have volunteered with the Memories in the Making program through the Alzheimer`s Association in Prairie Village Kansas. In the past I have volunteer to assist individuals who were displaced during Hurricane Sandy in New York City whereas I was able to make connection with elderly individuals who became homeless and needed assistance with daily care as well as with their medical needs. There are many achievements I am proud of throughout the years and are too many to list but I am willing to talk about them with prospective families.
