With now 4+ years of experience, I began caring for seniors as a teenager, helping my aunt take care of my great-grandmother who had dementia until her passing in 2022. I PROFESSIONALLY started senior care after graduating high school in 2020. On weekends, I'd assist seniors from church, while weekdays were spent working as a dental assistant during the day and a caregiver with 365 Home Care in the evenings. In 2020, I also enlisted in the United States Army National Guard, dedicating one weekend monthly to military duties. Today, I continue my caregiver role during the week, army career, and complete college work online. I have a deep passion for senior care because it brings me joy! Watching my great-grandmother transition from being independent to someone who could no longer recognize me or care for herself made me want to help others. My work as a traveling dental assistant also exposed me to many nursing homes, where I saw seniors not receiving proper care, further fueling my desire to make a difference! I am competent in bed baths, meal preparations, feeding, personal hygiene, light housekeeping, running errands etc.
