About Brenna

I have multiple letters of recommendations that refer to my approachability and ability to build rapport. I have a history in the healthcare industry, and in my early 20's I worked as a home health aide - a position that built relationships that I maintained following the assignments. I took care of a woman with Guillain-Barre until she was rehabbed. Later, when I gave birth to my twins, she came and visited. Psychology is my wheelhouse and I am especially useful in this area as a companion and counselor. I helped a young man through the depression he experienced during his recovery from testicular cancer. I became close with his family and we maintained correspondence for a while following that assignment. My daughters (age 23) and I are extremely close and share open communication. They are my pride and joy. One is an electrical engineer and the other is currently in grad school to work in higher education but their capacity for compassion and empathy as young women is what makes me the most proud. They have an emotional maturity beyond their years.

$23.00/hour · Oceanside, CA

I care about the welfare of people that need to be taken care of, making sure they are getting the special care they need such as taken their medication, are being fed and make sure they are being cleaned and are comfortable . Making sure they see their doctor and making sure that they have some one to talk to. I'm very responsible and very alert to the patient's care, I love to help others in any way I can, what I love being a caregiver is the fact that I can be helpful to someone that is not able to do that for them self, the achievement that I'm proud of is to be able to make the client feel independently and that their dignity is respected.
