About Bhavana

I love working with people, especially those that need a bit of extra help throughout their days. It is incredibly humbling to serve people in such basic ways, and makes me appreciate everything I have been given in life. Having had experience already in this field at YAI, I've developed a lot of patience and compassion to put the needs of whoever I serve before myself. I am most proud of the way I handled my last experience there as a direct support professional. There I was responsible for two individuals each day, who could not communicate using words and thus didn't have much say in their lives. Every single day, I really tried to enrich their lives by adding an activity or teaching a new skill that would help them feel active and involved in their lives.

I support elderly individuals with developmental disabilities in their homes to help them lead a happy and fulfilling life. My tasks include nursing care tasks (like bathing, toileting), giving medications, encouraging exercise, taking people out into the community, and teaching life skills like making coffee and dressing themselves. Aside from that, I assist in making meals and home maintenance(bathrooms/laundry/etc).

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.
