About Heidi

1. I grew up always wanted to help people, I believe it stemmed from having a brother who was handicapped, I always had the need to help and try to do my best to make people feel better. 2. I enjoy being a caregiver because I can physically help and encourage people keep their independency which makes me the most happiest. 3. To be honest the most greatest personal achievement; other than having two wonderful children that I am proud of would be passing my CNA test. 4. I am 27 years old and have had my CNA certificate since 2007, I currently work for the ARC of Quinebaug Valley as a Direct Support Provider which I absolutely adore but unfortunately they are not able to offer me the hours I need.

    I've been a caregiver for 25 years. I work at the Jerome home for 25 years now . I love doing my job. I take my job seriously. I love to see when there's progress in a patient I love to motivate them to do better for themselves and to try to do as much as they can for themselves. Because I think when you let them do as much as they can for themselves and makes them feel good and that's the purpose of being a good caretaker.
