About Patricia

I became a Care Giver to give back to the Elderly who I feel has made an Impact on my life. They gave so much of themselves over the years. I just want to make sure that their Senior Years continues to be memorable filled with Love, Respect and Dignity, because they have certainly earned it. I recently completed a CNA course and earned a Certificate. I recently moved here from Kentucky I was a Correctional Lieutenant in charge of a Mental Health Unit in the prison system. While there I was able to observe the CNA;S and Nurses in our Nursing Care Unit. I really like how caring some of the nurses seem to be. And longed to go into the Medical field myself.

    I am a people person who finds it rewarding and challenging to give optima care. When a person is limited in caring for one self, that's were I come in and help them over coming their disabilities and enhance their self-worth.. We never know when the end is coming, so I make everyday the best day possible. I am very compassionate trustworthy with peoples privacy issues. I am a team player who goes above and beyond. Safety and security are my first and for most priority.

    I originally started my healthcare career as a First Responder (EMT- Intermediate Grade) with American Heart Association CPR and American Red Cross Advanced First Aid Instructor certificates (though all said certifications are lapsed at this time) before moving on to other career choices. Four years ago, an opportunity for home healthcare assistance became available. I enjoyed that experience and continue to work with patients requiring some additional activities of daily living assistance.
