About Rebecca

I'm a 38 year old first time mom to an amazing 2 year old. I've always been a caring, nurturing person who was stuck working in retail. Finally almost 6 years later I made that change and went into the home care field. I was finally in a field that I was passionate about and loved. My first case had cerebral palsy who was also a quadriplegic. I worked with her for 5 1/2 years. Unfortunately while I was on maternity leave her mom grew ill to where she could no longer cover my hours to where she had to hire someone. I then briefly started working with a loving elderly woman who has been diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia. Sadly, her husband has also been diagnosed with the same disease. I started working with this couple in January of 2017. This was temporary as they moved up to Albany with their son in August. Luckily, my original client had asked if I could come back, so it was perfect timing. I've been back with her for over a year. Unfortunately, as heartbreaking it is to put into words, she passed away recently. As hard as it was, I know she would want me to continue doing what I'm passionate about. I'm seeking to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday overnights. As I don't want to miss out on my daughter growing up. I'm hoping to find a new person to fit my criteria as I want to continue to work in the field that I love.

Hello My is Nancy, I enjoy working one on one with people, and I especially love to make them smile by doing little things to brighten their day. I'm a registered CNA and HHA. I have taken care of several family members and friends of family and I've worked as a home health aid. Every person is special and everyday can present a new challenge and I am constantly learning from my clients. One woman in particular that I cared for was 65 yrs old. She was deaf & mute and taught me ASL sign language. So taking care of an individual is part of the job, but 'Caring For Them' is a large part of My heart.

I have always liked people and helped others. I been a caregiver on and off for over 30 years. I have taken care of many people like they were my own family. My patients needs and wants will always come first. I may someday need care and i will give my patients the respect and care that I want for myself if needed someday. I would prefer a live in position. You may ask what have I been doing. For the last three years I have been with a wonderful lady who pass on her 102 birthday and her daughter who will be moving to an independent living on Oct 1. This is why I will be leaving here this house is to big for the both of us and there to many memories here which we both become sad at times. We also laugh because we have so many good memories of her mom. She needs to start her new life. So send me an email if you think I may be the right person for you love ones needs. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have. I speak English and Spanish. Thank you Nancy
