About Amanda

I am 27 years young. I have been a caretaker most of my life it feels like. From 9 years old I took care of my mother who was burned over 76% of her body. Then my grandmother became ill and we could not put her in a home so I came home from college and for two years took care of her 24/7. She had a bleed on the brain,dementia and she was also super aggressive. I got her up in the mornings and gave her a bath, brushed her hair, and teeth. Got her diaper on and clothes and had her coffee ready for her when I got her back in to her wheelchair. I feel like taking care of someone is my calling in life. Why not make life a little easier for someone else all while being someone's companion and friend and getting another member to my family. Everyone I work for has become family.

Sarah Hodge
I arrive at the home right before the mother leaves for work. I am responsible for getting the rest of their homework done. I am also responsible for dinner and getting their baths everything before bed. I also get them up and ready in the mornings for school. Her youngest has Autism. I am more than their caregiver. They have become my family.

I was responsible for the household as well as the child. I had to do lesson plans for the day. I also had to keep her on a healthy diet and a healthy schedule. I did everything from cooking to cleaning to laundry and grocery shopping. I loved this family as well but she grew up and started attending school.

My grandmother had a bleed on the brain which caused her to lose all ability to stay alone. We could not put her in a home. I came home from college and began taking care of my grandmother. She could not walk, she could not go to the bathroom she had diapers on and she could not give herself a bath. I did everything from 7am until 7pm. I fed her kept up with her medicine and took her to appointments.

I have always had a heart for caring for people but my passion grew stronger when my mother passed away. I love being able to help a love one with everyday living. Not only assisting them with everyday care but keeping them as independent as possible. There are many things that keep me interested in being a caregiver but the most important one,I can be there for someone else's love one. I am a certified nursing assistant of 6 years,4 years of mental health and geriatric.
