About Wendy

I decided I wanted to be a caregiver when my grandma got dementia and needed help with everything. I would check in on her every other day until my Aunt moved her out of town and put her in a nursing home. Wasn't happy with the care she was receiving and knew I'm more caring and generous than them. I'm understanding and a hard worker. I let my CNA expire but still graduated for it with good grades. I only left Barbs because she died unfortunately. I was sad and upset with the other caregivers because they did not seem to care and talked down to her. But over the last few yrs we have a house directly across the street for brain damaged residents and today I just took one some bday presents and rubbed a cramp out of anothers leg so I wanted to go back to doing it. I'm involved with bible study to better myself and just got cleared as after 2 yrs of blood clots in my brain. I enjoy helping people when I'm capable as and have always gotten along with the elderly. They make me smile with their stories and appreciation. My personal achievement I'm most proud of is that I've been sober since 2008. I worked at a bar and was easily persuaded to stay and drink and got me into trouble. I hope you can see past that because I am a good, loyal, caring, generous, hard working individual.

Barb Wommack
Stayed with Barb from 9pm to 9am, administered medications and oxygen, prepared food, transfer her to portable toilet and also cleaned it out. I had good communication and friendship with her. Took care of her dogs. And since I lived there she would still prefer me over the other girls and call for me to use the toilet, cook her supper, let the dogs out. I also would do her laundry and clean her house.

I'm very passionate and dedicated. I enjoy taking care of others. It's not only a job but it's a job I can be proud of at the end of the day. If I can help just one person I feel like I've accomplished something good. I like listening to their stories. I might be there to help them but at the same time these cars clients have taught me something in return.
