About Charlotte

I believe that it is our privilege, honor and responsibility to care for one another, whether young or old. As a young child, I experienced hospital care a few times and a long stay. I was given special care by a nurse who would try her best to give me a few minutes of individual attention, since my mom could not be there all the time. I will never forget her. Especially when someone needs care, due to health issues or a disability, we need to offer them the most compassion and medical care that we can. I love the one-on-one time that is more available with a client, than in a hospital setting. I love making someone whom I care for comfortable and seeing them laugh and smile. Doing something for them that is not in my job description makes me feel that I am able to show more compassion. I attended 18 classes, through the state of Oregon (subjects on Home Healthcare) and received a "Special Recognition) Certificate. It has helped me feel more confident in providing proper and professional care for those I care for. I am a musician, as playing the piano for those in nursing facilities, or hospitals, is one of my deepest pleasures. I am family oriented and this is why I am relocating close to where my kids and grandkids are. I am the type of person who loves challenges! I feel that we should live life to the fullest.

    Since a very young age I have always been interested in spending time with older people. I love to help and make people smile. To me, I think it's being able to put yourself in the older person's shoes and understand that they were also my age once and had the whole world at their feet. I think you need the gift of the gab to resonate with people and make them feel comfortable with you and get to know you better. Home care is a personal experience and it can be incredibly fruitful if the relationship is more caring and personal.
