About Sydney

Hello my name is Sydney and thank you for considering me to be apart of your family and team! I have been an Acute Certified Nursing Assistant for 7 years and rolling. I have worked in over 30+ nursing homes and hospitals around Oregon, Washington and Idaho as a travel CNA and about 3 years working for Hospice. I love being an in-home CNA because that's where I get to see my patients feel happy and safe. I know that can sometimes it can feel impossible without the help of someone like me to keep your loved ones at home! I specialize in bathing, toileting, all personal cares, wound care and I have the training and experience to help those with a variety of illnesses (Dementia, Parkinson's, Strokes, etc) I have decided to make the switch to private caregiving because I am starting to take online classes for the nursing program, which is hard to do working a classic 9-5! So I might be doing homework while your mom or dad snoozes! I am an excellent communicator, educator and person. I take what I do very seriously and have a huge heart for my elders! On my off time I play violin, hike/camp and snuggle with my cat Winston!
