About Kerri

I'm very much a people person & highly empathetic. I knew I wanted to be a caretaker/Nurse since high school working as a volunteer in local hospital. I come from a family of caretakers so it's in my genetics. I've done many aspects of caregiving from rooming patients in local clinic to skilled unit in nursing facility & Alzheimer's unit. I love geriatric care due to the respect I have for the elderly. They've earned it for surviving through hardships I've only read about & learned in history class, which brings me to the fact that they have the best stories to tell if able to. I take pride in my care & the bigger the challenge it is with not so happy clients/patients I manage to get them to open up a bit & do my best to turn there frown upside down raising there spirits up. I welcome new challenges & learning about something new especially if it helps my care towards my patient. Dementia/Alzheimer's care is my specialty.

Ever since I was little, I have always loved to help others. I am caring, organized, kind, empathetic. I enjoy the little things and love to bond with residents, friends and family. I am a very hard and thorough worker. I applied to work at a nursing home my freshmen year of college, I am so glad I did because I never realized how much I loved it! I find working there to be very rewarding, as I feel the difference I make in their lives. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being a friend to them, lots of times all they really want is someone to listen, or chat with them as it does get lonely. I also enjoy all their life advice, and how much we can both learn from each-other.
