About Jean

I have worked as a caregiver on and off for over 27 years. I have worked both with the elderly and the developmentally disabled. The last 15 years I have switched to doing more administration work which I have not found near the sense of personal achievement. I find myself now at a cross roads. I still currently work part time as a staffing coordinator at our local hospital which is leaving me with a lot of free time on my hands and want to give back. I loved working both with the elderly and the disabled and have experienced many moments of personal achievement while working with them. The one moment that really stands out for me was when I took a group of children with developmentally disabilities camping. The joy that they experienced from that trip will always warm my heart. I have recently joined a group called I Run 4 Michael which is a running group for developmentally disabled children which both rewarding for them and me personally. I am an avid runner and the joy that this group brings to the children, their parents and the runners themselves is so rewarding. My father was recently put into a nursing home for a short period of time which was a real eye opener for me. I had forgotten what a lonely place those could be for so many. My heart went out to those residence who appeared to have no one that would come visit them. I found myself not only being there for my father but for other residence. What incredible stories some of them had to tell. I have more time in my

    I have over 5 years caregiver experience. I love helping others who are unable to do thing's on their own. I continued to do caregiving because of my grandfather o took care of for 3 year's back in 2010. Once he passed away i just felt i could do more by helping others that need help or just need someone to talk to. I am proud that i have made a difference in other people's lives.

    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.
