I have over 15 years experience and professionally training as a Certified Nurse Assistant, Care Giver, Home Health Aide, Medication Aide/Med Tech, and Restorative Aide. I've provided active, assistance, and passive range of motion exercises to individuals whom suffered an accidental fall, victim of a stroke, undergone hip surgery and/or replacement, individuals left paralyzed from an accident, and whom have developmental disorders from birth. During my experience in skilled nursing homes, acute care/rehabilitation centers, developmental homes, assisted living with memory care units; I have acquired knowledge of various adaptive equipment (e. g. Hoyer and Arjo lift or walker, lap trays, splints, spoons, communication devices, etc.) that was necessary for assistance in daily living. While working in loving homes and nursing facilities I was trained and have great knowledge of special dietary needs or restrictions, food consistency, and certain foods that coincide with certain prescribed medications. I have given assistance and/or reminders of scheduled medication for individuals with the most common dementia Alzheimers and some types of multiple sclerosis. With a safety always first motto and reliable transportation, I can transport to and from doctor visits, therapy, school/day program, and leisure activities with my personal vehicle or individuals. In closing, helping families with their continued cared for their loved one is very rewarding to me. I have a special quote I enjoy and would like to share with you. "We love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving". I've shared my passion, heart, smile, and love of life with each and every person I've cared for (though more laughter than anything) through the years. After my nana's passing in 2002 of pancreatic cancer, I pursued personal care and assistance with daily living full time giving my all to individuals the one on one care they deserve.
