About Patricia

Hello My Name is Patricia Morrow. I completed a CNA program part of my high school and went to work at a small local nursing home. Originally had thought of going to nursing school but I married early and had a difficult pregnancy. I ended up deciding to stay home to raise my family at that time. After my 4 children got a little older I started to care for an elderly lady that I met thru church. I was fortunate enough to work with her starting in 2016 until her passing in 2019. At first was meals, rides to Doctor or store, medication reminders, toiletries, bathing, and house cleaning. As her condition declined and lost mobility it also included bed baths, positioning to prevent pressure ulcers, transfers, post operative care, dressing change and wound care. Was able to develop a wonderful relationship with her and family and am very grateful for the time I was able to spend talking and caring for her. I hope I will be able to make a difference in another caretaker position and hope to speak with you soon.

I have been a caregiver for eight years. I love taking care of others especially seniors, I like talking to them because they have seen it all. I took care of my grandmother when she was alive for 3 years. I prepared her meal, did her laundry, took her to her doctor's appointment, and bathed her every other day. I'm well detail oriented person. Thanks

With my great work ethic, positive personality and reliability I would be a strong candidate for this position. I have five years experience in senior care professionally and over 10 years in taking care of families, friends, relatives who are wheel chair bound, stroke etc. I understand what it takes to make them a top priority by approaching them with the love and respect that they deserve. I create a special bond with every senior/client under my care and make every moment fun and memorable with their safety always coming first. I am confident of my great qualities and values that every client/senoir will be happy about.
