About Kathleen

I am a very compassionate and caring person. I enjoy helping people. I derive a great sense of satisfaction in knowing that I have a positive affect on the individual I am caring for and they feel assured that they are my number one priority. I would have to say that I am proud that I raised my daughter to have compassion for other people.

Home Health Aide

Jun 2017 - Dec 2017
Private Duty
I would prepare breakfast, assist her with getting in and out of her wheelchair, medication reminder. Assist the patient with toileting, dressing, and getting ready for the day. Bringing her down to the dining hall for meals in the assisted living residence she resided in. I encouraged my client to participate in some of the activities and events that were offered within her community, so she would socialize with other residents and didn't feel isolated and alone. At night I would assist her with getting ready for bed which included medication reminder, toileting, personal care and companionship.

Home Health Aide

May 2017 - Aug 2017
Private duty
Prepared breakfast and lunch for patient. Patient would spend most of her day sitting in a particular chair in living room as she had mobility issues, so I would re-position her to avoid bedsores. I would read and converse with her to keep her mind stimulated and her mood elevated. Weather permitting, she enjoyed sitting outside for a change of scenery.

Hello My is Nancy, I enjoy working one on one with people, and I especially love to make them smile by doing little things to brighten their day. I'm a registered CNA and HHA. I have taken care of several family members and friends of family and I've worked as a home health aid. Every person is special and everyday can present a new challenge and I am constantly learning from my clients. One woman in particular that I cared for was 65 yrs old. She was deaf & mute and taught me ASL sign language. So taking care of an individual is part of the job, but 'Caring For Them' is a large part of My heart.
