About Paula

I believe my personality is well suited to being an excellent caregiver, due to my nurturing and compassionate qualities. Even as a child I enjoyed taking care of people. My teaching degree was used to work with preschool children and this was a highly rewarding and enjoyable job for me. Many people have said of me that I am a natural caregiver. I enjoy spending time with all people, I have a good sense of humor, I am dedicated, organized and have great time management skills and try to create moments of joy with my clients. It is extremely rewarding to me to get to know and care for people. I am proud of the achievements I have accomplished as a managing caregiver with Right At Home. Each client I have worked with has been pleased and ask for me again. I also, have been a massage therapist since 2004.

Right At Home
I am currently working as a managing caregiver for Right at Home, which began over a year ago. I have received many awards, including Team Player of the month, All Star, and Caregiver of the month. I have completed over 25 hours of educational training and regular raises. I am always early for my shifts and never call off. My clients are treated as if they are my own family. I train other caregivers when they are going to work with my clients, as well. I have worked with sit to stand equipment, bed bound clients, hospice clients, trasnsferring clients, sponge bathing, oxygen equipment, and more. My expertise is with dementia and Alzheimer's clients. My experience prior to working with Right At Home has been caring for family members. I cared for my father in law, who had Alzheimer's, for 4 years in my home. His care included hospice and bed bound care near the end. I also, cared for family members and friends who were undergoing cancer treatments and healing from wounds/surgeries.
