I have dedicated the last 13 yrs of my life caring for others. I am what you would consider an old soul. My career began in a nursing home in the laundry department. After getting to know all the residents (who not only became my friends but my family) I came to the realisation that 95% of them all wanted the same thing. To be/go home. The care they received in those facilities truly hurt me. I decided right then that I was going to go back to school. I have made it my lifes mission to keep as many people as possible out of those facilities and give not only dignity but true care. I have managed to stay word of mouth for the last 8yrs, which that in itself is impressive. I've made many friends and lost many friends as well. I still stay in contact with my clients family members as it makes me feel close to the person we lost. In 2015 and 2016 I was named and nominated the most exceptional caregiver award. I have several certifications including obtaining an Alzheimer's certification (not yet offered in Mo) this is not a job to me this is my life. It's what I'm supposed to be doing.
