My kids are in college or have graduated college. I have spent most of my life taking care of elderly and my family. I went to PSU and later transferred to Bassist design. I should have gone into nursing, I have always had compassion for people and people in need of assistance. Before I got married, I lived with an elderly couple in Lake Oswego, that happened to be my Great Uncle Clarence and Great Aunt Ada whom needed assistance with cooking, cleaning, shopping and transferring. Aunt Ada had a stroke, so I was there for support with transfers, standby showers and pretty much anything she might need- Medication reminders , help painting her fingernails and helping her with her hair. I met my husband at PSU, we got married and had 5 amazing kids. I have spent my life during marriage raising our kids and taking care of my mother whom had a stroke at 65 and was in an assisted care home. I would go 3-4 times a week and help her with her occupational and physical therapy exercises, as well as taking her shopping and helping her with what she needed. My mom passed away almost 2 years ago Jan. The last 5 years I tag teamed with my Nana who was in her 90's and helped her with everything she needed. Trips to the store, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking , doctors appointments etc. My Nana lived to be almost 104. Her last few years of her life she had dementia, which I learned so much about during those years. How you join "their world"and don't argue something, you know, to not be true, unless it's harmful to them. It's a very trying time having your loved one slip away into "their land"and they might seem like they do not know who you are, it's really much harder on the family than the patient. I look forward to helping your loved one thru patience, compassion, understanding, helping them with all their needs, giving them the feeling of independence in their own home.

I'm an experienced caregiver having worked in nursing facilities and home-health care as well. I'm an empathetic and compassionate individual. I have a heart for people, and caring for others is a true passion of mine.

I enjoy caregiving it is very rewarding . I have worked both. In centers and I'm home . I enjoy every aspects of arriving. I even enjoy the challenging times..

I found myself attracted to caregiving because I love being around geriatrics, there is always a new story to be told and I love listening to everyone's stories. I am kind and compassionate. I love taking care of people from babies to 100+ there is never a dull moment and I love to help others.

I am naturally compassionate, patient, and observant. I've learned to stay calm under pressure and respond to others with empathy and understanding. My strong work ethic and attention to detail help me provide consistent, high-quality care. I also communicate well with families and medical professionals, making sure each person's needs are fully understood and respected. * What attracted you to being a caregiver? I was raised in a home where caregiving was a way of life--my mother owned three adult foster homes, and I helped care for residents from a young age. I saw firsthand the difference it made in people's lives to be treated with dignity, warmth, and attentiveness. That experience showed me the value of serving others, and I knew I wanted to continue in a role that allows me to support those who need it most. * What do you enjoy most about being a caregiver? The connections I build with the people I care for. I love learning their stories, making them feel heard and respected, and bringing comfort to their daily lives. Knowing that I can help someone feel safe, valued, and supported brings me deep fulfillment. * What is a personal achievement you are proud of? I'm proud of the way I've balanced professional growth with family responsibilities, especially during difficult times. Helping my mom run multiple adult care homes while managing the needs of residents was both challenging and rewarding. I also take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy caregiver--someone families can count on to treat their loved ones like my own.
