About Kayla

Hi, I'm Kayla! I was born and raised in Nebraska, meaning I'm very nurturing! Nothing makes me happier than pasting a smile on someone's beautiful face. And I have the tendency to do that a lot! Although I have never completely taken care of anyone in the elder community, I have taken complete care of several families children. From age 12 and up, I did a lot of evening/weekend babysitting for relatives and other families around the community. I was a pretty popular babysitter! (I have lots of references!) Also, I helped my mom with her in home daycare, while I was in high school. Right out of high school (summer 2017) I moved to Dumfries, Virginia to be a live in nanny. A job I had always dreamed of having! What an amazing experience that was. I miss it every day! I worked at a nursing home for a while, as an activities assistant. This was literally the best job ever. I got to do crafts, exercises, music, games, trivia, and my favorite, reminiscing, with the residents. Also, I had special memory care activities to do with those who needed it. After working there, I realized this is where I belong. The connection I have with people, the way I listen and pay attention clearly makes a difference in their lives. Like I said before, nothing makes me happier than being responsible for the smile on ones face! I fully believe God put me here on Earth to take care of people who need me. I believe I will make an excellent caregiver because of my compassion, experience, and willingness to learn new things and face new challenges. (Open to any questions!)

East Park Villa
East Park Villa is an Independent/assisted living facility. Here, I had the responsibility of keeping the building in a clean, sanitary, and safe condition. I enjoyed the physical work but not as much as I enjoyed getting to know the residents, listening to their stories, and making them smile.

The moment my son was born and our extensive hospital stay began, and as I watched all the medical professionals and staff fall in around us to support and care for him, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I realized in that moment there is no other job where you have the opportunity to help save a life, sustain a person, and support a soul and its emotions all in one day, every day; and I wanted to be a part of that. As a result I have gained my Certified Nursing Assistant License and Medication Aide License, have had a rewarding start to my career over the past year working in a nursing home, and have gained priceless experience in skilled care, memory care, and restorative care. The only thing I could love more than my job and the privledge of providing care for those that I do, is my own little family and spending time with them.
