About Heather

I became a caregiver to help people and to have a career that means something to me I love working with anyone elderly, children, middle aged ect... I've wor on rehab units, dementia floors, long term units and acute hospital care. I can use a hoyer maxi and Sara lift, also a gate belt, I can change a colostomy bag, put a patient on and off a cpap machine and do a elf. I give showers and or bed baths toilet patients feed patients and basically almost anything my patient would ask for just to make them feel a little more at home such as do their hair or give a manicure. Thank you for taking your time out to read a little about me. I would truly like the opportunity to become apart of your team and I know to be successful in the nursing field is team work! Without good team work it doesn't matter how much money a facility has or how nice the equipment is you always need team work!!!
