About Heather

I love helping others and it's always been in in blood. I started working on the Telemetry floor at a hospital while in college and fell in love with the medical field and people. Caring for others is definitely my calling. Shortly after that I took great care of my grandmother who had dementia and knew me half the time. I'm glad I got to have that time with her. I have had my own health trials and have had to overcome more in my life that I ever thought possible. When I got to the point of good health again the first thing I wanted to do was help others and that's what keeps me going. I am warm, compassionate, funny and all around just a nice person. I feel weird explaining myself like that but I am going on what others have said as well. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Oct 2020 - Apr 2021
Family Care
I aided in helping a wheelchair bound lady around who was paralyzed on her left side. I helped with cleaning, pet care, laundry, cooking, helping her move by putting her belongings in boxes, ran errands, dispersed medications and also helped with bathroom rituals, exercises and getting to bed and up in the mornings. She really recently moved to another state to be near her family.
