About Heather

Hi! I'm Heather. I'm a 46 year old single mother of a 12 year old boy who is looking to work with seniors in the home health care industry. I love working with seniors as I was a cook at St Anthony's Madonna residence for 8 years and would still be there had the non profit not lost funding. Alas, I miss my pseudo grandparents and am eager to return to working with the elderly. I heard about Bridges from a senior woman who stopped me in SF and asked me if I could help her across the street. We started talking and she suggested that I apply for a job because they need good people like me. Thank you for your consideration.

I've spent the last 15 + years caring for my teenagers, their friends and their schools. if there was a place to help out I was usually there, and often stayed for years. my work experience is mostly in office administration, but this is not what I want to return to. I studied to be a drug and alcohol counselor, but would like to be able to help others as well, so I am looking into caregiver work. I would like to do something meaningful, and that I enjoy. I am a quick learner, and always up for a challenge. I have a ton of patience that I have developed over the years. I love learning new things, and I love helping people. I am a bit more passionate about kids and older folks but the right person could be anyone. Rate is negotiable, if you feel that I may be a good fit please contact me and we can talk further. I look forward to talking with you!

Hello. My name is Amy. I was a fine arts teacher in Texas working with teenagers and adults for 25 years. Seven years ago I moved to California and decided to change careers, working with seniors this time, helping them to have a better quality of life. As a senior caregiver for the last 5 years most of my clients have remained in their homes to receive care, but I've also helped some in assisted living facilities and hospitals. I have experience working with seniors who have had Alzhiemer's disease, dementia, memory impairment, visual and hearing deficits, end stage cancer as well as those who need short term assistance while healing from various injuries and surgeries. I am a very empathetic, kind-hearted and compassionate person who loves to help others. I prefer working part time and daytime shifts. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I look forward to learning more about the needs of your loved one and how I can best help you.
