About Vickie

I have always been the caregiver in my family from my grandmother who suffered a heart attack when I was 11 up to 2016 when my mother-in-law became ill with Parkinson's. It gives me a sense of fulfillment when I make my clients smile...whether it is from cooking their favorite meal or just listening to their life stories. Since I have trained in two different modern health facilities, I am very aware of what to watch for to prevent medical emergencies. My previous clients' families have nicknamed me "Angel" because I always want to make their stressed lives easier...and to create an environment where they can ENJOY being with their loved ones again. I am proud that I am very close to obtaining my CNA license (taking the Oklahoma State Exam in August), having taken 16+ senior homecare courses and training with the very best homecare agencies. I am looking forward to using my God-given talents to help seniors enjoy their lives to the fullest.

Experience & Education

Caregiver In-home

Jan 2020 - Aug 2020
HCA Oklahoma
*I was a live-in caregiver for an 85-year-old who had broken her hip and needed constant watchcare for probable falls. I prepared all of her very specific meal plans, administered all medications, drove her to all medical appointments, and did light housekeeping. Also, I planned specific activities (playing dominoes, putting together puzzles, walking in flower garden, sitting on patio in the sunshine...all to keep her mobile. I carried out the PT's specific instructions for head, neck, shoulder exercises so my client would remain flexible.

Cheerful disposition for starter, this is usually positive for depression or lack of motivation. I enjoy listening to individuals who rarely have company along with participating in hobbies! Attention to detail is important with meal prepping, medication reminders, and grooming techniques. From applying makeup, dressing, hair care, cleanliness and skill are a must! Mostly, I have a knack for genuinely caring for others so I keep the pay rate low for individuals who are strapped on income.
