About Brenda

I have been a CNA for 8 years, worked in a facility for 2.5 years and then for hospice for almost 6 years. I took care of my Dad the last three years of his life before going on to be a CNA. It brought me great joy to take care of him, knowing he was clean, happy, and comfortable. I wouldn't trade that time for anything. I care for my patients and their families with the same care and compassion I would provide for my own family. I am proud to be a CNA and did my training in my 40s. I worked retail for 28 before until my boss retired. I am dependable, trustworthy , and honest. I am looking forward to caring for you !

I currently am working in an assisted living as a clinical specialist in infectious control of diseases and prevention. I have been caring for elderly, and people with disabilities since I was a little girl. My mom ran an adult family home, so I always had a bond with working with people. I have worked in skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living and Hospice. I am compassionate, organized, responsible, and reliable. I belong in this field because I want to improve the quality of life for the seniors and others in our community.

I have dedicated my life to helping others. My background includes providing care to seniors with limited mobility, terminal illnesses ,strokes, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. In these roles, I consistently team with family members, case managers, hospice and assisted living staff to create an environment conducive to the seniors' physical and mental health. I use a person-centered approach. Learning more about seniors and their needs is important, therefore, I frequently attend pertinent training and classes.
