About Jessica

In 2001-2006 I worked at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington KY. Within 8 months I was chosen to train all new and current Unit Clerks that was a big achievement for me considering some employees had be employed with the hospital for 10yrs. I love helping people I've always had a big heart. It makes me feel good to know just something little, I've done has helped another person in their day. I do have a lot of patience because when people are not able to do the things they once could do or their memory isn't the same. It's natural to be frustrated and I don't let that frustration bother me, you have to have a lot of patience and calmness.

I feel that the best traits of me that make me a good caregiver is the biggest one being I am a caring person, I am hardworking and I treat my residents/elderly with respect and as if they were my own family. I love to help people and make a difference in someone's day/life. I've got 5 years of nursing home experience under my belt. The most important thing I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is seeing someones progress improve, knowing I'm the one who has helped make that happen. Personal achievement I have made is being a mother and knowing my children are well taken care of and happy.

Hello! My name is Morgan and I have been a caregiver for approximately three years. Not only do I strongly believe in compassionate care, but I often teach seminars to healthcare institutions about how to implement compassionate care practices. I mostly enjoy being a caregiver because I will leave a positive impact on someone's life. I believe the best caregivers are empathetic, great listeners, and honest. A personal achievement I am proud of is graduating college with a bachelors of science degree, earning a 3.64 GPA, all while enduring cancer treatments, surgeries, working part time, volunteering at the community soup kitchen, and caring for my home. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
