About Barbara

I believe i am an outgoing person who always finds ways to keep everyone happy. I understand that being a caregiver is an exceptionally rewarding gift, building bonds, gaining trust, is a must in the medical field. I love to sit and listen to them talk about there stories. My mom passed away from a sickness in 2002 and i spent everyday with her and helped her with all of her needs, after helping her and such i knew being a caregiver was the job for me. I enjoy talking to the patient, helping, just genuinely being there for them.

Experience & Education

Medtech/Nurses Aide

JK&t management Northview estates
I have worked with the elderly for pretty much the last 20 years. I truly love helping others and spending my time with them. I have just moved out of state to be closer to family and it was one of the hardest things I have had to do, establishing relationships with the elderly. I truly miss my old work family. I was a Nurses Aide, and a medtech and have worked in an all dementia unit. I was in charge of the entire building when I was scheduled a Medtech, which was passing medicine, giving shots. As a Nurses Aide i was in charge of helping those that needed with anything, eating, dressing, showering. in the dementia unit i was in charge of all care and passing meds. I have letters of recommendations also.
