About Nicolle

Married with 4 adult children and 9 grandchildren. Born and raised in Pittsburgh pa. I was groomed into this field by my grandmother. She was the youngest and only girl of 7. My grandmother migrated from the south a town called Little Rock Arkansas. My grandmother didn't believe in nursing homes unless they were absolutely necessary. Every time one of her Brothers came close to death, they would come to Pittsburgh we all take care of them in shifts. My grandmother had 13 grandchildren and we all did our part to take care of her brothers. Each and every one of them. I didnt like it at first , I was only 14, but through time...I have grown to love taking care of people. This is one of the most rewarding jobs you could have. My grandmother has gone on to glory but she left a great legacy. And it lives in all of her children and grandchildren.

I am a semi-retired RN and want to continue working with people as an in home caregiver. I provide supportive, helpful relationships that meet the goal of achieving and maintaining a person's health and independence, or respite for family caregivers. I have years of experience in geriatric nursing, dementia (Alzheimer's, stroke), brain/neurological disorders, mental health and home health care. I believe in maintaining people's independence, respect and dignity in the safety and comfort of their own home. I have been described by families and clients as compassionate and caring with a sense of humor that helps establish trusting, dependable, warm relationships. Hourly rates are negotiable, unlike home care agencies that charge min.$28 for staff with NO medical background other than OTJ training. I charge $20-$25 depending on number of hours and live in or not.

I am grounded in Christ with strong moral values. I believe this is not just a career; but my calling to serve others as I serve God. Whether it's spending quality time with your love one or providing care; but I truly try to make a difference . I am an independent contractor (private duty) CNA .........I can't imagine doing anything else; my work has given me a deeper sense of purpose in my life. HEBREWS 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
