About Jenna

Hi! Nice to meet you my name is Jenna Olszewski. I completed my CNA certificate and Moraine Valley in early August and now i am in search of the perfect job! I have always been a very caring, outgoing, patient and empathetic person and i think that's what drew me to being a caregiver. That and both my mother and sister are nurses. I spent most of my time at the end/after high school being a care aide for my grandfather, who broke his leg in 2015, until he unfortunately passed away in 2016. After that i went immediately into being the primary caregiver of my father who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017 until he passed away March of this year. I understand what it means to put your parent in the care of others and how new and frightening it might be but i promise to take care off them like they were my own family member. Thank you for reading and i hope to hear from you! -jenna

Hi my name is Ruthy I'm from the Philippines and I've been working as a CNA for 9 years, my first job was in a nursing home for 5 years I love my job because I like to help people especially elderly it reminds me of my grandparents. When I was in a nursing home I worked or experienced a lot of cases like people that has any stage of Alzheimer's, Dementia, Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, stroke and more. And now I work as a private caregiver for 4 years which includes housekeeping, running errands, preparing meal or cooking food.

I have always enjoyed waiting on, taking care of, and the company of the elderly, I also like lightening the load of the family. The things that I like about being a Caregiver, is the personal satisfaction I get out of being where I'm needed and receiving so many letters of appreciation from so many families, and office staff. I am a very loving 61-year-old CNA/Home Health Aide (10 years), Caregiver, Companion/Sitter, with 26 years of Home Healthcare under my belt. I am empathetic, full of compassion, kind and have (so I've been told), possess a wonderful sense of humor. I enjoy being helpful and have loads of energy, which helps a lot, considering I love to stay busy. I am computer savvy, and can perform certain duties online. My client's and their families become very comfortable around and with me. They soon realize that I enjoy challenges, and I have a great working relationship with other members of the medical team. I am a great cook, and have so much experience in the home healthcare field, that I can handle pretty much anything that comes my way. All in all, myself, and others that matter, believe that this is my niche in life; and I am excellent at it. Proficient in Alzheimer's/Dementia, Cancer, Hospice, and Incontinent Care. I specialize in couples. General Housekeeping and laundry provided, depending on the case.
