About Nicole

I first became interested in the field of home health care when my grandmother fell and broke her hip. After her surgery she returned home to her second story apartment alone. I came to care for her as much as I could, but living across the bridge in another state, I could not make it every day. Her social worker told me about home health care and I hired a part-time caregiver for the times I could not be there. I had no idea such a thing even existed! I eventually took a course here in NJ to become a Certified Home Health Aide. Helping my clients with the things they needed help with in the comfort of their own homes is a satisfying job. I am able to give them assistance without them having to move into a nursing home, which many clients fear. Elderly people and handicapped folks should be able to remain as independent as possible. When they cannot do something, that's where I come in.
