I did hair prior to having my children. After they were born I stayed home to raise them. My mom was in a terrible accident and I cared for her after she was released from the hospital. That is when I realized I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. I have always loved interacting with people. I am very outgoing and talkative. I always look for new ideas and better ways to care for my people. I have taken care of a lady that was totally dependent on me. I fed her, bathed, clothed, helped her in the bathroom, brushed her teeth. She had no use of her limbs. She had a G tube, so I have experience with that. I also have experience with diabetics, cancer, and stroke patients. I am able to do transfers and I am also able to use a hoyer lift. I recently cared for a sweet young man that had severe cerebral palsy due to severe brain damage. He also had a G tube and a trach. The family moved out of state, otherwise I would still be with him. I currently care for a very sweet woman with MS, in the mornings. I have been with her over 5 years. I love to help people. When one of my kids or husband gets sick, my husband calls me Florence Nightingale. I love to take care of people and try to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I have been caring for people for 11 years now, and I love doing it. I love to laugh and have fun. I tend to get attached to the people I care for, therefore I stay with them as long as they need me. I care for people the way I would want to be cared for if I should ever need it. I believe in karma. You get what you give in this world. So, I always try to give 110%. Pay rate is negotiable depending on care needs. I look forward to hearing from you, and if not, I wish you well in finding the right person to care for your loved one.
