About Amanda

Compassionate caregiver with over 7 years experience to care for your loved one. Bringing dependability by showing up and providing care that's needed, paying great attention to details by being attentive to the needs of others while building trusting relationships, respecting boundaries and protecting the privacy of my client and their family. I'm a caregiver who loves helping people and it gives me wisdom to understand that life isn't about what you get, but what you give and I enjoy giving and making a difference in the lives of elders one day at a time in the comfort of their own home. Everyday's a challenge and that's what energizes me to get out and make a difference in somebody's life. Caring for others really brings me happiness and warmth to my heart.

I am a naturally caring person, who was raised by my grandparents, so I love and understand the elderly. I love hearing the stories of the past. I love getting to know the families and people involved in their lives. People are important and every person has value and a story to tell! I helped to take care of my grandmother as she was aging and I look back on that time w fond memories. Helping others stay in their home. Making someones life just a little bit easier can have great rewards. I took religion is college, of which I have 3 yrs. I have raised two children, and have been involved in my church over the years. I am now helping to raise two of my grandchildren which I adore! I am faithful and loyal, kind and gentle to others. I am honest and trustworthy.I love gardening, my grandchildren, and nature and all animals, especially cats and horses. In my younger years I was a CNA for about 10 years. Then helped my husband in the restaurant business for quite a few years, then went into janitorial at Hood River High Sch for awhile. I now have an additional 7 yrs (?) in caring for others. I love people! Now that I am a little older, I am enjoying taking care of the elderly and have a good understanding for what they need. I have been doing so for a number (10?) of years. I am a pretty easy going person to wk with.
