About Nicole

ENFP if that means anything to you! I'm an outgoing, energetic, compassionate PNW local who genuinely enjoys working to help individuals and families. My initial pull to caregiving was because of the schedule flexibility- being a single mother means I need to ensure that his needs are being met. It wasn't hard to fall in love with a job where the main goal is helping others lead a more fulfilling life, while providing relief and time for self care for families. I have studied physiology, neurology and brain functions fairly extensively- I don't have a degree but I have the knowledge and use that to help provide the best care possible. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is being able to raise my son and watch him flourish into an understanding and empathetic young human.
