I am caring, compassionate, and understanding. I realize that caring for anyone you are not just caring for the patient/case but for someone's loved one. This means that you are also caring for the family. The family must trust you and understand that all communications regarding their loved one is honest, accurate and confidential. I have been in the business of caring since 1998 both in Hospitals,private care facilities and in the home. Each location requires and demand a different approach but what never will not be compromised is that my case has priority, my companionship and the well being is always at the forefront. I have the ability to communicate with all levels of the medical community from patient transportation to the attending physician and nursing staff. I am CPR/First Aid Certified also with the latest automated on sight equipment. I feel that the person that I am caring for must and should remain a viable member of their community and should have as much professional and social interaction in that community that is reasonable contingent on their health and mental condition.

I LOVE WHAT I DO! At 14 yrs old I was a candy striper at Harper Hospital for the summer. Ever since then there is an indescribable joy I feel knowing that i can be of help to a person in need. Maintaining a positive attitude and a warm smile seems to work wonders when others are having a not so great day. I am very patient and encouraging. I have worked with rehab patients, hospice, mentally challenged as well as alzheimers/dementia. I have almost 20 years experience but never stop learning as each person is unique.
