About Heather

I am a caregiver by nature, and am very passionate about helping others in need, and making their day a bit brighter. I am a very compassionate, kind, and dedicated individual to assist with whatever tasks may be needed. I currently work at an assisted living facily and have prior home care experience working for an elderly woman with Parkinson's and caring for my Nana with late stages of Alzheimer's. I have a valid drivers license, car and am CPR/first aid certified, saving up money to get my LVN. I think I would be a great addition to provide exceptional care and assistance overall.

I've been in the healthcare field for almost 10yrs. My motto is to be the caregiver that I want in the future. I've worked in many nursing homes, assisted living and memory care facilities. When I worked at autumn Leaves as a CNA, I was offered the position as a Life Engagement Specialist. Within my new position, my role included conducting activities and exercises. When I started the exercise routine, I made some changes to make it more fun for everyone. Within 3months, it went from 20% participation to 60%. I've worked with all type of patients and residents and also understand that this change is not only on the client but also effects the family members as well. My goal is to pay it forward for those who are in need.

I am a energetic, reliable, compassionate, respectful person and I believe that these traits help me to be a wonderful caregiver. I am very passionate about what I do and love the satisfaction I get from servicing people. I was attracted to this job because it's very similar to what I wanted to go to school for; which was nursing. I later changed my major to speech language pathology and I love it! I enjoy keeping my clients company, assisting them in anything they need assistance with. One of the personal achievements is gaining knowledge about this field, since 2013 I have been able to learn so much and work with different companies as well.
