I have worked in the Human Services Field for over 25 years. I have worked with Developmental Diabled individuals, was a Foster Care Service Coordinator, a counselor for children and adults in a Psychiatric Hospital, Social Worker in a Nursing Home Facility and currently work in the Medicaid NHTD & TBI Waiver Programs in upstate New York. Assisting others, that has been my goal for the past 25 years. After losing my father to Parkinson's I have spent the last 10 years working with my community's seniors; initially within a Nursing Home Facility, and currently helping seniors obtain services in the home to avoid Nursing Home Placement.

I have more than 13 years of experience working (full time) with individuals with developmental disabilities. In group, private residential, community, and classroom settings. Also in transportation. I have been told that my compassion towards them is extremely apparent. I am there for the individuals 100%. For their health and well-being but also for their quality of life. I also believe that promoting as much independence as one can have. When I have worked one-to-one or in someone's home that was where I felt I could make the most difference. I have worked in medically intensive houses as well as behavior intensive. I also worked for NYSOPWDD and am required to pass an extensive background check, which I have. I love what I do and have never been told anything other than I do it well. My heart is full when I'm caring for people. I get out of it what I put into it, if not more so. If I can make someone in my care smile, laugh or feel comfort, I feel like my day was a successful one!

I have worked around the world and have many friends and acquaintances with varying degrees of limitations and family backgrounds. I feel I am well versed in communicating and getting along with individuals of any background. I feel it is important to give our elders the feeling of being wanted and capable of living the lifestyle they are most comfortable with.

I am a very compassionate woman. I understand that every person deserves individual care that meets their individual needs. I am attracted to helping a person live their best life as much as possible. I enjoy being able to make a persons day better by me being there for them. One personal achievement I am proud of is helping a former client, whom had cancer become stronger and more full of life than before I entered his life!

I do what I do because I whole heartily believe in what I do. I'm very excited to meet new clients!

I am an RN looking to return to providing the care I hoped to do when I became an RN. Care, compassion, exceptional verbal and nonverbal communication, and above average critical thinking abilities are just some of the skills I possess. In a home care setting, I most enjoy the ability to provide the 1:1, quality care I would want for my own family and friends. In a facility or at home, I love utilizing my ability to discern a patient's needs, often off the beaten path. My greatest personal achievement was raising my two developmentally disabled children to become independent, upstanding citizens.
