About Adrienne

since a young girl, it was my passion to care for people, whether that be adults, children, pets, ect. I started a PCA job after High School for mentally and physically handicapped adults. It was the only job I truly had passion for, and at the end of the day I believe I got more from them then they ever did me. The most enjoyable part is being surrounded by individuals who just shine with warmth, empathy, compassion, understanding, ect. My proudest personal acheivment was YEARS after I had moved onto another job, I was out with my co workers explaining how I never have loved a job as much as I had that one. I very vaguly described a special bond a client and I had and all the fun things we would do. All off a sudden, a supervisor from another department who had been sitting some feet away from us...stood up and asked if i was talking about "Said Name" , I was taken back but told her yes. After she told me he had passed away, she came up to me with eyes overflowing with tears about how touched she felt by hearing me speak of her uncle with such love and serenity. Two days later she brought me something from her car, a big, white, shadow box of all his favorite posessions (his beloved rosary, favorite teddy bear, empty bottle of Mt Dew (his fav soda) some things he colored, and a few photographers of him) I immidiatly recognized everything in that box, and at that point we both burst into tears and hugged. She told me.... "It's people like you who ,we are truly grateful for, that get to care for our most loved ones. She could tell the people who were just there for a job, and people like me that treated each and every individual as if they were my own brother, son, parent, or grandparent. To this day this story still holds my heart, and it still makes me cry. Sometimes when I didn't think I was good enough for the job, I remind myself what these beautiful souls bring to me. No doubt about it, it is God's work.....

I would keep the client company being she lives in isolation. I would transport her to and from clinics, pharmacies, dentist, grocery stores. I would cook her meals, along with laundry, housing needs, tend to the cats. I would dress her various wounds (whether that be from a procedure or just normal aches and pains) I would help her with her grooming, transferring chairs, help with mobility. Assist her in daily chores such as bill paying, going to get the mail, helping her sort through her mail to make sure everything is paid on time.

House Cleaning / Stay At Home Mother

Apr 2013 - Jan 2016
Self Employed
I had 2 young children at the time. Me and my finance made the decision it would benefit our family if I stayed home with the boys vs enrolling them into a daycare center. Once they Started a few pre K classes I began my own home housecleaning job so help pay the bills. That ended immediately when the boys began full days in school.

I started my caregiver career a year ago when I got a job working as a CNA at a local nursing home. I got the job to see if I would enjoy being a caregiver and I absolutely fell in love with the profession and I am now enrolled to begin nursing school this fall. I love being able to form personal connections with those I care for, so if you are looking for a kind, compassionate, caring, and reliable candidate I may be a perfect candidate for your needs.
