I started out in a privately owned Assisted Living in 2003, not needing my LNA. During my first year there, I fell in love with taking care of others. I went back to school and got my LNA license in 2004 (NH requires you to be licensed). I enjoy serving our seniors by helping them lead full and productive lives each day. Their needs are always put before mine, I like to focus on quality of life. My personal achievement would have to be moving to another state and challenging my skills to take the test and get my CNA here in NC in 2010. I also took the state test to become a medication tech in 2016. I feel that I can adapt easily to any environment and can work very well with others. It is said, that I have an out going personality and am courteous to everyone. I am 41 yrs old, met my husband when I was 19. We had a son, who is now 21, got married in 1999 and had our daughter, who is now 18. We are from NH. Moved to NC a little over 8 yrs ago and love it here. The activities of daily living I can perform includes.. Hygiene/bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting assistance/incontinence, mobility assistance, transfer assistance, feeding assistance, transportation, managing medication, light housekeeping/laundry, exercises, groceries/shopping, companionship and more!

Caring for seniors and enriching their lives brings great joy to my heart. With an educational background in physical therapy and years of direct experience with seniors, I understand the key to aging gracefully. It’s not rocket science, just basic common sense. Over many years, I have developed an innovative program for promoting graceful aging, independence, and dignity for seniors. The focus is a holistic whole person approach for facilitating physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Along with providing a comprehensive wellness program, patient care advocacy, and other specialized services, I believe in making life fun with a wide variety of meaningful programs and events. George Bernard Shaw once wrote, "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing." Many programs and special events I organized for retirement communities have appeared in the News and Observer, Herald Sun, Apex Herald, and other newspapers. Two were covered by WTVD ABC news 11.

My Name is Jennifer Murtagh,. I became a caregiver years ago when a friend needed help with her 96 year old aunt. We quickly became close. I assisted her with everything you can think of from household chores to bathing. I spent 60 hours a week with her, and when she needed the extra care I spent the night. I believe that being a caregiver was the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I learned a lot from her and she actually enjoyed giving me advice on many different topics. Sadly this woman had many strokes in her last few years, but we worked through each one and learned how to overcome her lost abilities. We actually gained a lot of those abilities back by re- learning them! I made her comfortable in her last days. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am good with pets. I currently work with children in a daycare facility/day camp, but am looking for a full time position. I'm a honest person and always go the extra mile for anyone in need. I cook, clean, grocery shop, help with pets, even tend to gardens! Anything you need assistance with I'll be there.
