About Nichole

I am a dedicated and compassionate human service worker. I have a vast background of nonprofit/care giver work that spans over the course of about 5 years. I have worked in diverse settings such as working with homeless men in downtown Austin. I have a special place in my heart of senior care though, I love working with those who need assistance so they can stay in their homes comfortably. I've been trained in Alzheimer's and Dementia care, this has given me an understanding and unlocked a special place in my heart to care for those who are suffering from this unfair disease. I strive to make their lives as easy, comfortable and happy on a daily basis by keeping organized, preparing healthy and timely meals, keeping meal logs, med logs, appointment logs and daily notes of their activities and moods that day for family and friends to know how their loved one did on a daily basis. I love giving seniors a sense of relief knowing someone is there keeping their daily lives in order while they can enjoy their family, grandchildren and even their favorite TV show. I am looking to find a dedicated family I can work for, someone that knows they have someone there for their mother or father, or grandparent who cares and is dedicated to their job.
