About Brenna

A few personality traits that I believe make a great caregiver are reliability, compassion, and respect. These are all traits that I personally hold and value in any job that take on. These are also a few of the reasons I was attracted to this position. I want to assist care families the best that I can to provide their loved ones with help doing their everyday tasks as well as improving their overall quality of life. In any event throughout my life that I've ever helped someone is when I've felt most accomplished.

Hello, I'm Page, I will give a brief read about me. I am 28, I have 3 kids , married , and a stay at home mommy. I love the outdoors, reading and gardening. Family means the world to me. I believe I would be a great caregiver for someone in need, I was a CNA for 2 years till I decided I wanted to be able to stay home with my newborn, so I became a stay at home mom. I started Nursing school in 2019, and have yet to finish up my last year for my LPN. I am just waiting for my kids to get a little bigger for me to finish that journey. I would like to help families in need. Life is tough sometimes and we can't all do it alone. So I'm happy to help! I would enjoy being a caregiver for you or a family member.
