It has always been my passion!

I am a dedicated and professional caregiver. I am skilled and seasoned in many areas such as dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimers, mental health, paliative care and hospice care. I've been an LNA for 8 years. I really love the personal level homecare offers.

I've been a caregiver since I was 18 years old. I took care of people with special needs. I started nursing school when I was 20 years old. I graduated when I was 24 years old. I was a nurse for 15 years and then my grandmother got sick and I became her caregiver. I believe a caregiver is there to do anything for the person that they care for. Anything to put a smile on their face. I've taken care of babies with trachs. I've taken care of seniors with dementia. And I've also learned that you take care of the person and the family.

I am an experienced, responsible, honest, and motivated caregiver looking for new opportunities to provide companionship and all aspects of personal and emotional care to clients. My skills include bathing, medication management, errands, meal prep, and feeding, organize exercises and outings activities to enhance my client's health and well-being. I am great at being an effective advocate for the best interest of my clients when interacting with healthcare providers and their family members. I also specialize in memory management for clients with severe dementia and provide dignified end-of-life care when needed.

I genuinely care about people of all ages and they are able to recognize my level of compassion right away. I have given care to several elderly people within the last few years, and I love to listen to their stories. They have wisdom that can only be gained by living a long life, so it is quite fascinating to me to learn from them by listening to them. Even though a few clients have been quite grumpy with other caregivers, I am often able to bring out their sense of humor by making it all about them--doing things they like and want to do. I have also worked with several disabled adults and children, so my degree in education comes in handy helping them learn new ways to do things. My background in psychology also comes in handy, because it gives me a way to understand the emotional ups and downs of being elderly and/or different abilities. I am also a very patient person when it comes to working with people with special needs. I do not automatically do things for my clients if they can do it for themselves, because often the task will allow them a form of physical therapy. I am very adept at giving praise and encouragement for keeping active and busy. I get as much out of being a caregiver as I do giving, because it helps me to feel good about myself.

I've worked with the elderly for about eight years.When my father was admitted to a nursing home and I witnessed how he was cared for I developed a passion to try and make a difference working with the elderly to give them better care. I worked three years as an activities assistant with dementia and loved it,I have also worked as an LNA in a memory care unit. I have had special training with alzheimers/dementia care.
