About Kayla

My name is Kayla Searcy and I have a passion for helping others. My warm personalality sets me apart from other caregivers. I've been wanting to be a caregiver since I was a little girl. My grandmother worked in a nursing home when I was a kid and her compassion inspired me. She was a LVN. The connection with my patients is what I like most about caregiving. It's more than a job to me. I'm most proud of how I stepped out on my own to be a Private Caregiver and not letting anything defeat me.

Let me start by stating, entrusting a stranger with the life of a loved one or yourself can be quite daunting. Being a caregiver is much more than technical qualifications; it requires heart, soul, laughter, patience, compassion, and human nature at its most vulnerable state. This is why I am passionate about what I do. I have a very colloquial personality which keeps me fluid with other personalities. I have cared for elders in my community and I enjoy helping them preserve their independence as long as possible and becoming enriched with their history. I am proud of achieving the knowledge of my self worth and the worth of others, along with growth through writing and photography. I have experience with Parkinson's patients as well, and that has been a crowning honor for myself. More so, I find myself living through the wisdom and history of each person's story and take that knowledge through my own journey. My rate of pay if fully covered by UCH and if you are private pay, my rate is flexible. Thank you for entertaining the look at my profile.
