About Brittany

When you first become a PCA, they train you to stay emotionally distant from your patients. I can't do that. I genuinely care about the people I take care of and grow unique bonds with each one of them. I do my best to go above and beyond for them and I will do everything in my power to make sure that they receive the highest quality of care. I have been taking care of people for as long as I can remember. My uncle is a quadriplegic and I've been helping him since I could reach the counters in my moms kitchen. Of course it feels great to help people, but the best part about being a care giver is finding those patients that become family and hold a piece of your heart.

Home health aide

Oct 2017 - Feb 2020

With this patient I lived in with her two days a week. I got her up in the morning, took her to the restroom, I bathed her on shower days, dressed her, took her to the kitchen for breakfast, did her vitals, gave her am meds then feed her, transferred her to her recliner, took her to and from the restroom when needed, did activities with her, fed her lunch, did chores throughout the day, fed her dinner, gave her her pm meds and then took her to the restroom a last time, changed her into PJ's and then put her to bed.

Home health aide

Nov 2015 - Feb 2017
Private employer
With this patient, I was with her for mostly end of life care. I would get her up in the morning and take her to the restroom. On shower days, I would give her a shower, get her dressed, brush her teeth, apply a full face of makeup and do her hair, take her to the kitchen table, give her breakfast and morning meds, then she would watch television or I would take her for a walk or I would do different activities with her depending on the day and the weather. I would take her to the restroom and then she would get lunch, and after that she would take a nap. I would get her up from her nap, take her to the restroom again, touch up her makeup and she'd get dinner, then we'd watch television and then I would get her ready for bed, take her to the restroom, give her her pm meds and put her to bed.

PCA

Jun 2015 - Dec 2015
Acclaimed in home care
As a PCA I would go from patient to patient assisting them with anything they required specifically. I would help them bathe, get them ready, help them eat, or cook them meals, do chores around the house and even go shopping for them. I also did medication reminders, assisted with pet care, hoyer lift transfers, toileting, transport to Dr.s appointments, etc.
