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 !

Hello my name is Anastasia and I am a mother of two beautiful girls. I became a caretaker shortly before I had my first daughter as more of a means to an end income wide and fell in love with helping people. I have dabbled in a few other professions but have always come back to helping and taking care of others. As a teen I became sick and could not walk for about a year. With a lot of hard work and a dedicated medical team I was able to regain my mobility back which has given me a great insight on how people who need care feel while they are in their time of need. I feel that my experience has given me the patience needed to allow others the right amount of time to grow and heal themselves. One thing I do love about my job and feel the most proud of is the fact that I am very into taking care of the whole individual not just their ailment. So in tern I tend to find little drastic changes that others miss and, with my own experience in mind, I am able to better understand the feelings of those who do not like having the extra help. I believe that everyone has their own story and just because of either an ailment or old age that story does not just end. It its my duty as a caretaker to help that person continue that story and live their best life the best they can. Why else would anyone want to be a caretaker.
