About Nicole

I became a caregiver because I really enjoy helping others and I always have since I was younger. I have compassion and understanding to any and all needs. What I like about being a caregiver is that it can be very rewarding and so many ways that you can not put a price on the overall experience that being a caregiver gives. The feeling you have at a end of a day and the warm smiles you receive is just a reminder of why you love to be a caregiver. My personal achievement that I am very proud of is when I received my Associates Degree in 2010 in Medical Administration at age 34. I have a twelve year old daughter named Jenna and on the A-B honor roll who is proud of her mother becoming a caregiver and also wants to grow up to be in the medical field. She would always help me study during college when she had time. I am a very caring and understanding person who will always have a smile on my face. I enjoy being a caregiver and would one day like to continue my education in the medical field and become a L.P.N.

    I am a wife, mother of 4, and registered nurse. I substitute nurse in an area private school. My belief is that I would make a terrific senior care giver as I have a dear love of elderly people . I would be most interested in daytime care that might include walking, driving to appts, shopping with or for and meal preparation as well . Pets are no problem. Limited to daytime and early eve on a part time basis.

    Being a single mother of two I did what I had to to raise my girls. Managing a restaurant was hard work and long hours. I didn't start doing what I wanted to until after they had left home. I've always felt a need to help others, even when I couldn't help myself . I'm compassionate , caring, patient, empathetic, and understanding of how certain diseases affect the patient. Not all stroke victims, Alzheimer's or disabled patients are the same. I work with people based on their personality and their specific needs. I was raised to treat people like I want to be treated and that's how I try to live my life
