About Ann

I am very Passionate caring person, ever since I was little girl. Instead of playing with neighborhood kids I would help my elderly neighbors. I loved sitting on their porch just talking for hours. They use to tell me & my mom that I had an old soul. My mom also was a caregiver then she got degrees in other medical fields, you could say I got and learned from her. I first got into home health care because of My father in law. I was 21 years old. He had MS, & his family denied caring for him. I noticed how bad he was getting so I started caring for him immediately. The care he needed acquired more time so me and my 3 babies (at the time) moved in and I cared for him around the clock. He had some pretty bad wounds that tunneled down to the bone on multiple parts of his body. Which is why I got certified at the osu wound clinic. Everyone around me and even the nurses that came over told me i had a special calling for this job. It was what I was meant to do! It takes a special person to really love & care for others. There are so many reasons why I love being a caregiver. It's more than the satisfaction that I am helping others. It's that they also teach me about life and what we take for granted. Without them saying a word. I feel so refreshed after a shift it doesn't feel like "just a job" to me. With Each & every client I get it seems like there is a story and I feel like I am apart of their story by getting to help them. I truly love what I do!

Experience & Education

Home Health Aid/Aid Trainer

Jul 2014 - Oct 2019
Options Home Health
I was a Home Health Aid when I first joined options home health. I already had experience prior to joining their team. I was certified at the OSU wound clinic & had first aid/CPR. My job entails and still does with everything listed: wound care, colostomy care, bed baths, showers, companionship, light housekeeping, transferring, hoyer lift trained, specialize in dementia & Alzheimers care. Parkinson's care. Bed side care. Incontinence care, help with eating. Fixing hair, painting nails. Shaving. Driving to dr. Appt or any appt. you name it I've done it! I would also help at assisted living, or nursing homes. As I was working for them and they seen & heard about the quality of services I provided I was their top Aid. Not one complaint from any of the clients I had cared for. The clients would request me. They seen and heard such good feedback from me they wanted me to be their trainer. So I agreed. I trained all of the new caregivers, and caregivers that had been there. So they could also provide exceptional care. One thing I couldn't train is having a heart and really loving what I do. And that is caring for others
