About Elizabeth

Care giving is one of the most rewarding careers I can think of. You get to give companionship when family can not. I have seen what it means to my husbands 94yr old grandfather and it felt like a calling. I have a culinary certificate, so cooking is not an issue. I am up to date on my CPR/First Aid/AER certification. I just completed my last class for Chemical Dependency Specialist/Mental Health and start clinics in January. In the mean time, I am starting a CNA course to add to my resume and it will be completed on December 8,2017. (These hours do not affect my ability to work during the day). I umderstand through my college work that addiction can impact the elderly and I want to specialize in that for the Polk County Area. I would adore the chance to find a family to work with that will appreciate the variety of different skills I can bring to being a companion!

What makes me a care giver is my love and compassion I have for people who needs an extra hand in life, I enjoy knowing that I can help people make their lives easier to live, and to be able to be a friend for someone. I was attracted to being a care giving when my mother in law passed away and I had to help her until she did. I enjoy being a friend to those I care for and knowing that I was able to make their life better by being a helping hand. My most personal achievement is being able to take care of my 3 kids on my own.

I enjoy taking care of older ones. I have been doing it for the last nineteen years, after receiving my nurse aide certification. It makes me feel good to know that I'm truly helping someone and they really appreciate everything that you do for them
