About Connie

I care for anyone at any place in life whether your need is for an accident victim, surgery recovery, or best of all elderly care. People have told me that i am very patient and a good listener. I enjoyed hearing that and i take much pride in being those and other gifts that God gives. What attracted me into being a caregiver is my mother in 2006. She has been a caregiver for 41 years now. There was a facility that she was working in that caregivers work. There was a family lacking a sitter for one lady and they were looking for someone last minute to fill in a shift. My mom called and asked if I could do it and I did not see why not. Even though the overnight shift was a nightmare and even hurt me physically, I decided if I could do go through that then I could go through anyting. :-) What i enjoy most is the learning. For many clients I feel like I should have been the one paying them for what I learn from them. Of course it's not always this way. I would pray so however. I do enjoy learning people and new situations. Every client and their loved ones are different and i don't mind making long term friends. Personal achievements that I have made during the career of home health aide caregiving is caring for different health situations in many different walks of life. My services include bringing you or your loved one to appointments, errands, etc. My services include light to moderate cleaning, cooking, and shopping whether the need is part time or full time, short term or long term.

Was a caregiver for a sweet couple with hearts of gold. The husband had a type of dementia in which he had to be watched carefully. The wife was such a joy with stories to tell and was very giving. In the end it was very sad watching the wife go downhill quickly after suffering from a fall that she had during the night just about a month before she passed away. The husband was moved later on to be closer to his son. I miss them both hugely.

The love for helping people has always been in me. After school during my junior high/ early high school years, I would go to sit with my mom at her job(nursing home). Doing that made me even more determined to go into the healthcare field. My bright smile and caring attitude is what make so many people love me. I love to just listen to the individuals talk about their long life memories and how life were so many years back. That is what push me more to be a greater person to other. Being able to help others and knowing I made a difference in their life within a few hours, minutes, days or even months. Is what make my day and keep me going. Helping people and being nice is not hard and I'm thankful I was able to help so many.
