About Trisha

I was married young, and widowed at 29. Even though I have a degree in Social Work, my heart is in the home. My children are grown with children of their own now, and so I have been blessed enough to have worked as a caregiver for the past ten years. That means I get to go back to my first love...caring for someone and their home! I have many skills designed to enable your loved one to live comfortably and safely for the rest of their lives. I cook, including special diets such as renal and diabetic diets. I clean and organize as if the home were my own. However, you can let my past employers "brag" on me, as I can give you several letters of recommendation. I am very knowledgeable regarding illnesses and medication and methods of care. Please contact me, as I am looking forward to hearing from you!

    The quality that makes me an excellent caregiver is my compassion for my patients. As a patient, it's sometimes hard to accept that they are not able to be independent anymore. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and let them know that it's ok to have a trained medical professional help them with their daily activities. My warm approach allows me to do my work without having my patients feel like they are a burden. I let them know that they are my number one priority. I am consistent with upholding quality work. I have worked in nursing homes and private home care. I use my experience and apply it to my work to ensure that my patients are always getting quality care. The most important quality that I have learned through my experiences in working as a nursing assistant is listening to my patients. Learning more about them gives me a connection into their lives and ensures better work from me.
