About Kourtney

I am a very caring person. Once i'm comfortable and people get to know me, I have a very funny and bubbly personality. I'm always looking for ways to enlighten the mood, or to look at the better side of things and picking the positive out of any situation. I really started in the caregiving field in hopes of becoming a CNA one day and as I progressed more into this particular field, I loved it. I love knowing I am helping someone's mom/dad, grandmother/grandfather, or brother/sister making their life just a little bit easier. I also loved that I learned a lot from clients. Not only with medical things, but their wisdom. A lot of clients in the past have given me tips or advice that was actually very useful and helpful. I love getting to know the people I am caring for because it makes my job easier and gives them some joy as well knowing that i'm not just there for a job but also a companion!

Experience & Education

DSP

Sep 2021 - Feb 2022
DRCC
I was a DSP with DRCC with 3 clients that lived in a home. I would provide them with meals throughout the day and providing transportation to work or any upcoming events they had. I assisted with medication administration and blood sugars/insulin. They were more independent so they did not require any toileting or bathing/grooming.

PCA

Jan 2021 - Aug 2021
Pine Grove Apartments
I worked with 5 clients here all in their own apartments. Some were non verbal so I had to read lips or go through the alphabet and spell things out. I also did meal preps, bathing, toileting, and feedings for some of the clients. One had tube feeding so I am experienced in that as well along with cleaning around the tube and changing the pad. I've also worked here with leg bags so I do know how to change the leg bag and clean them with the condom catheter. I did transfers 1 person and 2 person assists.
