About Anna

What makes me a great caregiver is that I am very responsible, dependable and work my best to make the one I am taking care of feel special and happy every day I care for them. What attracted me to becoming a Caregiver was that I was needing a job since I had just moved back to my hometown and filled out an application with Kelly Girls, an agency that hired people for different jobs. I was called to care for an 80 year + lady and enjoyed it. It was not what I went to College for, but continued to do both working in Administrative work and then part-time as a Caregiver. The thing that I enjoy most about being a Caregiver is the stories of those I care for. There is so much history that they have to share...even those from different parts of the Country and learning how different things were from then to now. My Mother was born in the Depression years and experienced the years of WWII, where 3 of her brothers were part of. It's the elderly who helped build the life around us and them being nurtured by their parents to give us a better tomorrow. I believe the most personal achievement I can say I am proud of is that I was taught good work ethics by my Mom, who was a farm girl. I started working at age 11 and have worked many different types of work and am a fast learner. I paid for my own College and worked at times 2 jobs to pay for my own apartment. In the Caregiving field, I have been taught some things that a Nurse is qualified for, but taught by the family of their loved one how to do certain tasks. I am very respectful of people and their property.

Care Coordinator

Apr 2022 - Present
Private Care
I have taken care of my personal friend for several years now. I am his Care Coordinator. A month ago, I had to put him in a Skilled Nursing Facility. I was caring for him 24/7, which became very tiring for me with getting up to 3 hours of sleep a night. He has an overactive bladder which meant he had to be checked every 2 hours to see if he needed to be changed, which 99% of the time he did...or within the next 30 minutes. I have been a Caregiver for over 39 years now. I have worked in Assisted Living, Home Health Care Companies and many Private Care. I only do Private Care now, which I've been doing for the past 15 years. I have cared for many people needing different kinds of care and even trained in areas that Nurses are trained in.

I am generally a happy person who likes to keep busy. I feel that if you can do something now to make your tomorrows better, you should. I became a caregiver for a family member suffering with cancer. As her disease progressed I fould that I was good at managing the details of her disease and helping her gave me comfort. Making her life less stressful and ensuring she had the level of care she deserved made me happy. Hearing her stories and learning from her was one of the great experiences of my life.
