To assist in the care of the elderly. Spending time with resident. Meeting the needs and goal of individual. I have over 20 years experience in the field. I am also a Medical assistant. I find it rewarding to assist with daily needs.

I feel my purpose in life is to make the world warmer and safer for everyone, in every way possible. I always try to live ethically and authentically, in the way I treat people, especially those who are vulnerable, and how I approach every situation. I like to have fun, and make people smile, and feel good about themselves. I enjoy sharing warmth with people because I know that's what matters. I've been helping care for my niece, nephew, and grandma for many years. I have a Masters of Social Work (MSW) focused on community partnerships and a social and environmental justice organizing background. We focused on older adults for our final project in my human development class for my MSW and the professor said it was the best she'd ever seen. I have studied and practiced quiet leadership coaching, nonviolent communication (NVC), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), as well as various health practices in meditation, yoga, and nature. Contact me for a resume and references, if you'd like. Thank you for taking responsibility for caring for your loved one! That matters so much and makes me believe in the good in people!
