About Jolene

I love the fulfillment I receive by being a care giver. My first job, off the farm, was as a CNA in a retirement home. There I cared for one of several wings full of elderly people all with various levels of need. I have found that working with the elderly and being able to bring stability and comfort to their daily lives, the most rewarding job I've ever had. I take care of elderly couples in their 90's to ensure their life quality at home. Love my references.... Today, my grandma is still living independently in a very large home; at the age of 99; that she has maintained for many years. With some outside help, such as myself, she is able to go on living there instead of a retirement home. I look forward to working with my clients and see how I can make things safe and capable for them. I've also come to realize, that even a person, my own age, can have so many needs too and with just the right person to assist with the activities of daily living, makes all the difference in the world to so many people.

Since leaving school I have always enjoyed being around people, I enjoy helping people and making their days better. My mother had Multiple Sclerosis and I was her carer before she moved into a nursing home. I am able to care for someone needing assistance with their daily activities; be that bathing, grooming, feeding, going to appointments or companionship, and many other things as needed. If you have animals, then that is just fine with me; I love all animals very much.

I am 64 years young with a desire to give back to people in need. I find myself at this point in life needing to go back to work and choose the caregiving field as I enjoy helping others. I have excellent references from past clients and present! I include in my services meal preparation, grocery shopping, housecleaning, transportation to and from appointments, and respite care. I like to keep busy as I am a high energy person. I hope to be able to help with the care of your loved one! Cheryl
