About Vanessa Dale

I never know what to write when it comes to this part. Most people say I'm happy go lucky, I have a quirky sense of humour. I guess I would have to my step mom introduced me to the field, She was a nurse in a long term care facility, they were short handed and needed help. Needless to say I was very young and didn't last long. As I got older and became a single parent I needed work and it just seemed like the natural thing to do, to become a caregiver to others outside of my children. I believe my greatest joy in doing this job is helping others and making a difference in their lives, even if it's just making a snack or a meal, or shaving a face or combing hair. Sometimes is the smallest thing that make the biggest difference for someone. I would have to saY my personal achievement I'm most proud of is raising my children alone to adulthood, to be respectful, productive adults. Now helping to raise my youngest grandson.

Experience & Education

Home Health Aide

Nov 2014 - Present
Kevin Farrell
When I first began my last job, I would get my client off his day program bus, I would sit him down for his snack and then proceed to help him with his showering. Then i would prepare his dinner and assist with his feeding. As his disease progressed, K as I'll refer to him, stopped going to his day program so my hours were longer, his needs progressed from assistance to hands on full care. He would be complete care from showering , shaving, dressing, preparing , serving and helping him eat his meals. Med reminders to giving him his meds. As the years progressed K became less mobile , less communicative and for my last year in his employment he became a Hoyer lift for his mobility to get him in and out of bed to his chair for meals and his recliner relaxation and activities.
