About Tressie

I have been doing home health care for about 8 years. I have worked for home health agencies and assisted living facilies both. I can not work in a facility due to the lack of staff to resident ratio. I love working with and taking care of individuals in their home. I love to get to know my clients and build lasting relationships. I started doing home health work in 2011. In 2015 I decided to obtain my CNA certificate. I have also taken care of individuals with Autism, rare brain disease and MS. One of my favorite clients I cared for was a young man in his 30's. He had MS. Although he could not speak verbally, his mother helped me to learn and read his body language. I cared for him during his last year of life. It has helped me to be one of the best caregivers. I am very spiritual. I do believe strongly in God and his plans for my life. I am here to be a caregiver and a spiritual healer. I am very compassionate about doing my best when caring for others. I am a great communicator. I am reliable and trustworthy. I am currently attending Ivy Tech Community College working towards my Bachelor's Degree in Human Services. I have 4 amazing children.
