About Ronda

If Someone asked me to tell them who I am by my life experience, I would have to say I've always been a Caregiver. In fact I really think that God put within me the traits needed to fulfill what my purpose in life would be, to Care for people. Empathy and Compassion for the struggles and needs of people, come from the difficult times I've had throughout my life and gratitude for those who came along to mentor and offer compassion to me. Being a Caregiver has been a natural progression from being a caregiver first to my family... Three of my Grand Parents had Alzheimer's disease, I helped provided care for all three. I have three grown children and five grandchildren, they all live in different states now with their families. When my children were young I operated my own State Licensed Home Daycare for many years. I have been a substitute teacher and teachers aid for grades K-7. I received my Teachers certificate from Moody Bible Institute 1981. I also home schooled my own children for a few years. The final decision to use this passion for people and pursue the training to be a professional caregiver, came at a crisis point in my life when I became the caregiver and legal guardian/conservator for my youngest son who at the age of 24 was hit by a van and was hospitalized for 2 1/2 months for a Traumatic Brain Injury. He was in a coma for a month with two years of rehabilitation after leaving the hospital. Going through that traumatic experience with my son also put me around many other people experiencing life changing events, whom I was able to help by encouraging and giving information I learned along the way. After my son got out of the hospital I went back to school and took training to be a Certified Medical Assistant, I have been using that experience, training and knowledge for the last 7 years as a in home caregiver in MI and FL.

Comforcare Home Care
Cared for two ladies who were older and had ambulation deficits, and used walkers. My clients both required Companionship, meal planning and preparation, house cleaning, laundry, transportation to appointments and shopping. One of the ladies also required help bathing and taking blood pressure and recording daily. Companionship with these dear ladies was my favorite part of my job. I became close to both of my clients which made it harder to leave when I moved from MI to FL in September of 2015 to help my mother who needed medical care at that time.
