About Amy

What makes me a great caregiver? I am an educated, intelligent, caring woman. I Have life experience enough to relate to seniors. In addition to having run a home for 40 years, I have been trained by the best NA school around. I have gained experience working with a variety of conditions, but I feel that the best care is learned from the family and patient. Therefore I am adaptable. I try and do things they way they want me to. Being able to make their own choices, makes for much needed control in a difficult situation.

Working in-home , I provided companionship and support, as well as cooking and light housekeeping as needed. Some of my patients needed help with toileting, incontinence, and bathing and grooming. I provided transportation to appointments, did the shopping, and laundry. Basically my job is to make life easier for the patients and their families

Lois was a wonderful client. I came weekly to her home for several years until she passed. I helped primarily with things she was unable to do as she was wheelchair bound with COPD.

This job was very precious to me as I cared for my own Mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I took care of her. I treat all my patients with the same dignity and respect I showed my own Mom.

Personality traits: I try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I am a person of the highest integrity and dress in a professional manner. I know how to balance empathy and caring in such a way that as I care for the body, the mind and soul feels cared for as well giving a sense of comfort in knowing everything's going to be alright and they feel safe and secure. The thing that attracted me to being a care giver is, I like to "Help" people. I'm interested in the wisdom an elderly person has. I enjoy being a caregiver because helping others puts a smile on their face knowing they are safe and secure in my care at maybe their most vulnerable state. One personal achievement I am proud of is being excepted into the 2019 Strathmore's Worldwide Who's Who in my occupation as a Health Care provider. I have 15 years prior experience as a NA11. I've worked in agencies with Home Health and Hospice and in a skilled nursing facility. I have experience with every aspect that it takes to care for your loved one with over 20yrs. In all. The one thing that makes me a great care giver is I listen to their needs not my agenda and I love what I do.
