I get residents cleaned and groomed, then dressed to get their day started, with tender love and care. I cook breakfast and lunch, occasionally dinner if I stay for the next shift. Wash dishes and clean kitchen. Sweep and mop floors daily. Bathing. Changing every two hours. I do laundry according to the schedule. Document time changed. Medication Tech trained and will document medication times given. I believe a PRN is the last resort. I always try and redirect the resident if they are agitated. I always treat my patients as if they were my own family member.

I am a compassionate person who enjoy helping others. I'm a registered CNA with CPR/BLS and EKG training, in Texas. I have over 20 years of experience with the elderly and disabled. After many years of working in a Hospital Business Office by day and caring for a family member at night, I decided to become a Caregiver to others. I know first hand what it is like to need assistance with the care of a loved one and realizing that you can't be there 24 hrs a day. The uncertainty of trusting someone else to do it for you can cause anxiety. I promise you that I will treat your loved one with kindness, dignity and respect, the same way I would like my loved ones to be treated. This isn't just a job for me, it is a ministry and a passion.
