About Abigail

Hello! My name is Abby Olsen. I am a very caring and loving person. I always want to be there to help others succeed and see them happy. I have been caregiving for around a year now. What got me into this career was my grandma. Before she passed away, I was always there to help her with everything she needed. She made me have a passion to do the same for others, and that's why I love caregiving. You get to build a close bond with the people you care for and that means the most to me. I've gotten very close with many of the people I've cared for and consider them family!

I was a caregiver at melody living. I had 30+ residents to care for. I worked morning shifts, so I would help them get ready for the day. Shower, get dressed, brush teeth, brush hair, e.t.c. I would do all of their laundry. Help them eat if they needed. Help transfer them, bring them places they wanted to go. And even just communicated with them to show them I'm here if they ever need someone to talk to. They were family to me. Anything they needed help with, I was there.

Hello! My names is Kelsey! I am a mother of two amazing little boys! 3 and 1 I have been in the caregiving industry for a little over 6 years now, I have experienced everything you can think of.. I love what I do, and I enjoy coming in to each of my clients lives, and getting to know them on a personal level! I graduated from Rasmussen college with my diploma in medical assisting in April of 2021, covid had hit and I decided I didn't want to be in the doctors office, rather one on one with a client in caregiving. I'm looking for part time hours for right now, I have been a stay at home mom for 2 years so I would like to start off part time to get everyone adjusted! Thank you for taking the time to read! Look forward to speaking with you Hope to hear from you soon
