About Ashley

I always wanted to become a caregiver since I was a little girl because I grew up with a disabled mom. Ever since I can remember I helped take care of her in anyway I possibly could! Also because I always cared so much about others, wanting to help, and to bring them happiness! I love most parts of caregiving, but three major things I love about being a caregiver is I know I'm helping someone in need, I get to bring them joy in apart of their life that isn't always easy to deal with, and I get to help their families also! I feel I am a great caregiver for many reason, but mainly because I genuinely care about my patient and their families as my own. I will do everything I can to make sure they are healthy. That they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and secure with me. I don't look at this as a job, I look at each patient as a friend/family. I build trust and bonds with my patients and their families! I've taken many classes, done a lot of studying, and training on my own just to make sure I am able to give the best care possible! I've spent countless hours at hospitals, doctors, and physical therapy places to learn my patients needs so they could come home if I didn't already know! I've been blessed to have a lot of training from other health care professionals to keep myself fresh. I will do everything I can to make sure I can keep my patient out of nursing homes and hospitals if the treatment and care can be done from home! I always want to make sure also that the family feels safe with me caring for their loved one. Often times families are forgotten when a loved one needs a caregiver so if I can help the family in anyway I want to do that also! Caregiving and helping others is truly my passion in life!

Experience & Education

Caregiver

May 2003 - Present
Private Care
I provide personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, cooking, cleaning, and laundry. I provide medical care depending on the person needs, I've worked with super pubic catheter, colonoscopy bags, a feeding, tube, wound care, oxygen care. I have provided physical therapy, transportation, helped with doctors, medication, insurance companies. I've worked with all different types of patients including dementia and Alzheimer's. I've provided a lot of care in my 16years as a caregiver through the State and private care, one of the most important things to remember is along with the physical care you have to provide mental care also. You have to be there for your patient, making sure they are happy, making sure their mental health is just as important as their physical. They have to trust you and know they can depend on you! And not only the person you're taking care of, but their families also!
