About April

I try to connect with a person through their hobbies. I also feel like having a down to earth trying to understand a person personality helps as well. I live in the country, I put out a garden, I help can, I have put on garage sales, I enjoy flee markets. I enjoy history. Being all around knowledgeable for a few things, and willing to learn about others helps out greatly. I enjoy keeping the person stories alive, and seeing them smile, and appreciate the little things. My personal achievement is when the client calls me there angel or sweetheart, and they explain in there words how I help them, manage through there chores, or ADL's I have worked with many companies, and only a few I can mention. I worked for my first private client this year. I really enjoyed it. I do have references,

Apr 2019 - Oct 2019
Kathy S.
I was hired on by this family, to be a private caregiver for their 89, year old mother. I would walk behind her, and be there just in case she needed extra help in the bathroom. I would assist with showers, and dressing. I would prepare her breakfast, and lunch meals. I would be a companion, and sit outside with her. And clean her bathroom. And medication reminders. I just recently left, since the family was asked to come in to take care of her final hours.

Senior Check-IN
Worked for this company, worked with one lady who needed to be worked with exercise of walking and therapy. Then later on, it transitioned to needing help with transitioning with lifts, from bed to wheel chair. I would do some needing help feeding, cleaning the bathrooms, helping with showers. She later turned to hospice. I helped with positioning in bed, and giving her liquids, and helping her pass time, by walking her stuffed dog, or watching old old tv shows. Before she left, we painted a pumpkin. The family wanted her to be at home, to pass away.

I have been a CNA for 10 years, and have worked in all different situations in many different facilities. I aspire to go further with my nursing degree, and eventually, hopefully become an RN like my mom. I enjoy being a caregiver because it gives me a sense of purpose, I enjoy helping people. Many life lessons held dearest to my heart, came from the facility where I worked my first 2 years as a CNA. I currently work PRN for an agency based out of Indianapolis. Although I am through an agency, I have been steadily picking up at a facility in Franklin for over 5 years. I am searching for a PRN or part time option closer to home. I look forward to hearing from you!
