About Mckenzie

I have been a caregiver for a year in Kalamazoo, MI, and I am hoping to continue doing so as I venture out to Denver, CO. I have specialized training in working with patients with brain and spinal cord injuries, including those who are paraplegic or quadriplegic. I enjoy being a caregiver because I am able to help create close bonds with my patients, along with being able to help those around me who need it. I always strive to create a better environment and/or living experience for those that I am taking care of.

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.
