About Kayla

I am a outside of the box person. I enjoy being innovative in my work: creating new activities, daily schedules, and better systems. I was attracted to caregiving, because I like seeing others become more autonomous. Helping other people simply feel better about life is rewarding to me. It is an emotionally challenging job but I love the challenge. I like the freedom of caregiving. When you're with your client you get to create a space of peace and happiness however that person thinks peace and happiness is. But, one if my proudest moments was when my past dementia clients remembered my name, because he enjoyed the time we spent together.

Everyone needs help from time to time. I like being that for someone, and hopefully making their day nicer, too. It's the little things that make a bad day better. I am not certified, but I have had multiple jobs as a caretaker, skills coach, and mental health aide. I have experience in most skills requested, and am very comfortable performing all care needs. I am open to expanding my skills, and will put in the extra effort and research needed. Ive had training in most everything listed, including lifting, mobility, CPR, and first aid. For anything else, please feel free to ask! Thank you.
