About Cora

I think what makes me a great caregiver is, that not only do I love helping people to get their daily activities done, but I have a lot of personal experience caregiving. When I first got into caregiving I was taking care of a family member who was a paraplegic, and a home health nurse came one day and told me how good of a job and how fast I was at catching on to certain things, and that I should really look into nursing and that is exactly what I did. What I enjoy most about caregiving, is that it's never a dull day, and I can go home feeling good about myself that I had actually accomplished something good for the day. My Personal Achievement that I am proud of, from being a caregiver is that I finished getting licensed in the state of Washington, and was pregnant at the time I was doing it and working a full-time job with lots of overtime I would get at least 60 hours a week. And I got it done. Right now I am going to school to get my Healthcare Administration License because my long term goal is to, travel the US and research different city's that really need home care, and open some adult foster homes for those in need.

I was a live in caregiver, for a paraplegic male. I would do everything for him, including, wound care, medications, doctor appointments, transfers, help with bills, housekeeping, meal preparation, and dressing. When I first started his wife was also there, for about a month and she was on hospice and passed away of cancer.
