About Kimberly

I would call myself a kind, understanding, and very patient person and caretaker. I want to truly get to know and understand my clients. I know that my elderly clients have lived long, important, and accomplished lives long before I met them. I want to give them the respect and the dignity that they deserve. I love to hear their stories, learn about their lives and their passions, and do my best to make sure they feel appreciated and cared for. I went to college for animal biology and journalism, and worked in that field for a short time. I found myself involved in my first care taking job and have been in this field ever since, working with many different and unique people with vast needs.

I have been a private hire aide for the elderly for about 4 years. I've worked with clients with dementia and Alzheimer's, anxiety and depression, visual impairments, and much more. I provide hands on care, cooking and cleaning, give meds, and companionship. I love my job and feel it is a privilege to help people through their older years to live the best lives they possibly can.

Hello My Name Is Brittney, I Have Always Loved Being A Caregiver. What Always Helped Me Be A Great Caregiver Was Showing Both Empathy And Compassion. Showing The Person That I Care About Them And Want To Do Whatever I Can To Help. What I Enjoy Most About Caregiving Is Spending Time And Getting To Know The People I'm Helping, And Being Able To Just Help Somebody The Best Way That I Can. What Attracted Me To Being A Caregiver Was My Grandmother, I Was Very Close With Her Before She Passed Away. I Would Always Help Her The Best I Could And I Wanted To Be Able To Do That For Others. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1rLMjuC74lm9Qj6GGZj6H2B9v81s_lgUWDicjUUKtCwQ/mobilebasic

I'm a great caregiver with compassion and i am patient when working with senior clients. I got interested in being a caregiver when my mother got sick and I noticed how folks were treated in certain situations. I enjoying providing care and when seniors are satisfied with the care I have provided to them.
