About Robert

I have over eight years' experience in the care industry. I began as a CNA working in nursing homes for four years before moving on to being a home counselor helping integrate the mentally challenged into society. After retiring from the workforce in 2010, I returned to work in home care for senior citizens. I have gained a wide variety of skill and maintain a professional connection with all my clients. I currently work with two home-care agency's and constantly educate myself to hone my skills. My compassion for senior citizens began while in middle school in the small town of Center Point Iowa. We have an eight apartment senior building close to the school. Every day, I would stop by, pick up the newspaper in front of the door and knock. Every time I was invited in to socialize. Listening to live history those folks lived through will always be in my fondest memories. I love taking care of those who paved the way for our society. Every client I meet gets professional care with a friendly, family atmosphere.

Growing up I always had a passion for being a person to care for people. I started as a teenager caring for babies and my passion continued to grow. I wanted to become a cna after my friend did and told me how much she loved it and it sounded like something I would love to do as well. My favorite part of being a caregiver is the satisfaction of knowing for sure everything was Done properly and I know the job was done not having to worry when I leave peoples homes. I also love the relationships that are built between caregivers and the person needing care also their families.
