About Brittney

I love caregiving and have been a caregiver as a second job for about 6 years now. My father diagnosed with terminal liver cancer which has taught me a lot not only medically but emotionally about what the patient and family go through during the hard times of health problems. During the diagnosis of my fathers cancer I searched for the right caregiver and wanted someone educated yet compassionate who could also fit in with our family. I finally decided to caregive for my father myself and am very happy that I did and did hire part time caregivers along the way if I had deadlines for work etc...this is what got me into the field of caregiving and after my father passed I continued to be a caregiver because I know that the nurses and caregivers that helped us through his last few years made a huge difference in our lives and I wanted to be able to give back or pay forward the amazing gift they had given us while he was going through his cancer and treatments. I feel that I am great for this job because I know first hand what it is like to have a busy life and career, I also had a small baby at the time and have a terminal illness diagnosed with no preparation, money for help or family help close by. I know that it can be stressful for the patient and family and I have learned so many skills of how to make these hard times easier, and how to be there for the patient and family and make it easier with not only my medical knowledge and experience but through compassion, understanding, and laughter. I feel that it's very important that you are able to find a caregiver who can feel like part of the family and come and go and be present or in the background when needed but most of all to be there and be reliable and considerate of what the patient and family are going through.

I keep a crew of 32 men organized and make sure that the Superintendent is adequately staffed and all meetings with vendors and employees are scheduled and he is prepared for each item that will need to be addressed on a daily basis. I enter all cost for our entire team and have created a cost tracking system I use daily in order to analyze our budget against our spending. I also handle all of our accounts receivable and payable and make sure that all our invoices are entered and correct before sending to our corporate office in Denver. I handle all of our vendors and am responsible for rates and MSA contracts. I oversee and conduct all rate negotiation meetings after analysing our numbers for whichever department it will be pulling from. I oversee and conduct our weekly team meetings to keep the crew organized and make sure all staff is informed while assigning their tasks and work for the week. I assist all leads with everything from helping them with the computer to implementing a plan of how we will get a project started and finished and follow that project from start to finish while tracking and entering all costs for each department. I then each quarter put together a presentation For the shareholders and head engineers to review
