Every since I was around 9 years old I knew then I wanted to help other's . My parents let me watch a 6 weeks old baby boy even though they were just across the street and parents up stairs, it was a joy! Since then I started at Ft. Carson military family as a red cross volunteer at age 16, after had other jobs but I was always drawn back to caring of other's. I have many different levels of care experience including Hospice as caring for children of many different levels of care as special needs adults. I have worked in hospital settings as nursing hms as asst. living including personal care & private care. I have been a personal asst to those that needed help organizing their lives such as book keeping, mail, areas of concerns, cooking, cleaning, errands, a lot of hands on, Dr appts, meetings with love ones as social workers. I had my own business so I'm very aware of customer service as patience. My, my, my to look bk at years of experience 20 plus as becoming a great grandma only had one child a girl, some tells me I don't look like a grandma let alone a great grandma, I give thanks for good genes & most times healthy eating and if I may say so the lord above, please don't let me saying the lord above scare u off from hiring me; I don't push my beliefs on anyone. I like to say most times I have more good days then bad as most of us , I hope.. I'm register with the state with a CNA license as CPR through the red cross. I have to say if I read this I would hire me, ha, ha. We all can use a smile as some laughter considering these days events! Thanks for considering me. Take care you and yours!

I have often asked what makes me a good caregiver and my response is that I treat my clients with respect, kindness and compassion. That providing care based on my clients needs no matter their age or gender is key to providing the quality care that my clients deserve. I have been surrounded by family in the medical field especially my mom who is the most compassionate registered nurse I have ever had in my life she is my inspiration. I enjoy providing care to my clients because it allows me to provide support to my clients and their families. If I had to say what is my achievement is I would say it is being a single mom to a special needs child while still following my goals to become a CNA and continue my education to eventually become a Registered Nurse like my mom. It's because of nurses like my mom that I put my self in others "shoes" How would I want someone to treat my child or my parents? I'd want someone who loves their job and will focus on quality compassionate care for my family. For the last 4 years I have worked with special needs children and a year of experience with senior care. Available in COS & Denver Areas / passed CO state background check / own vehicle with full coverage insurance.
