About Carrie

I am a mother of four children and a Veteran of the US military. My Army experience as a field medic gave me knowledge of basic and Advanced patient care. I was stationed with a 200 bed EVAC hospital similar to MASH. I also worked as an Orthopedic assistant for several years and worked as a medical assistant and phlebotomist for a family practice for 3 years. I started in the home health field because my kids are about grown and as we all age I know the need is big to find above average care givers. I work because I want to and have the compassion for people and life.

Private family .
I discussed the menus in the beginning and came in 3 times a week to prep and cook meals for a family of 5. Recipes and ingredients wee ready for me to cook and prepare. Crock pots, food processors, freezing, baking and gluten free or vegetarian were all included. Sometimes dairy free was required I can do anything the client wants. I would also use the marker board for instructions on anything still cooking. After cooking I would clean and put away all items and clean the area.
