About Bern

I started helping my grandparents after high school while deciding about college. In my 40's after a work layoff, I became professionally trained as a personal care support provider and caregiver and loved the work right away. The two things I enjoy most with my clients: 1. music and dance as fun way to get some exercise 2. cooking healthy home cooked food together and sharing a meal I worked with people in all six New England states but Vermont is my favorite.

I'm a great caregiver because I listen well and enjoy hearing people's life stories. For some reason I find it easier to relate to the older generations than I do to my own. Last night I invited my sisters family of 6 over for dinner and my nephew said it was a ten out of ten!

I started working with people at a young age. I worked at a daycare for about two years and then moved to elderly care. I'm very kind hearted and a patient person. I love knowing that I'm helping someone's day become a little easier. I aspire to become a nurse one day and that is what I'm working towards. Ever since I started working in this field I love it I would never give it up !
