About Kaitlyn

At this point in my life I am a 20 year old college student. I grew up living with my elderly grandfather who had health issues including stroke, feeding tube for nutrition and leg amputation. This was not scary to be or abnormal, it was just grandpa! When I was in late middle school, my parents opened up a business that revolves around assisting elderly men and women in carrying out their daily activities. I was recruited to help out in any ways that I could as well as fill in small positions for them as need be. This area of work is something I truly enjoy doing, and making the connections personal makes it all the more rewarding. I look forward to bringing my young energetic personality into the lives of these people who may be later in life, but are so full of it.

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
