I am a gentle and quiet person, attentive listener, tender hearted, compassionate and deeply caring, professional woman. I assist and provide care for individuals who have been diagnosed with dementia, alhzlmers, bed bound, limited mobility, and disabilities of various kinds. Each and every person I provide care for, I actually care about them and their wellbeing. I have years of experience of attend to people's needs and providing care for them as a former chaplain intern and resident at the University of Kentucky, The United Methodist Children's Home and my local community. My role as a chaplain was mainly to offer emotional support and spiritual care for patients, families, doctors and nurses at a rapid pace. A desire in me began to grow where I wanted to have more time to get to know the clients more and spend more time with them. I enjoy the role of a care giver because I am able to take time to learn about people's needs and attend to them. My heart is filled with joy as a caregiver because I have the time and space to listen to each individual's story, learn about their physical and mental health and assist them with their needs. My vision for being a caregiver is to provide care for each person in such a way that they feel honoured, accepted, noticed, valuable and encouraged in their independence. I am most proud of myself for providing care for infants, the elderly, to those on the day they took their last breath, those without homes or with homes, citizens of the United States and internationals, people of differing faiths or no faith, those with minor health concerns to those in critical conditions, those who struggle with mental health diagnoses to those who do not and a variety of other categories within the past 5 years of my life. I don't take any of those opportunities lightly and am excited about the opportunity learn new care plans and provide care that meets each and every clients need(s).
