About Heather

I relocated to Olympia, WA from Baltimore, MD about one year ago. Currently working as a customer service professional, I am seeking a more meaningful position. I would love to give back to Washington by doing some impactful work, such as Caregiving. I have 5 years of caregiving experience (geriatric care/dementia and alzheimers) My CNA Certification is now expired, but the skills have not. I have been working as a Customer Service Representative since 2014, but I am ready to take advantage of my talent. I am really looking forward to start a new career and continue my education!

$30.00/hour · Shelton, WA
Some residents at the Assisted Living Community call me Christmas, saying it's close to Carol , my nickname. They said it fits my personality. Willing to give love (as the song goes... on Christmas Day!), happy, funny, full of joy! I have been taking care of my Father who suffered from stroke for 10 years back in the Philippines, being one of his caregivers. I was also his Physical Therapist. We moved here in the US 5 years ago, and I have worked as a caregiver , then transitioned to work in the Med Room as a Medication Technician at Maple Glen Assisted Living in Shelton, WA. I consider it a calling given the opportunity to work there. I am a people person and loves taking care of elderly. I treat them as family and I enjoy listening to their stories, and attending to their needs. Having a Physical Therapy background, and with experience in home health, clinical, and hospital settings, I could offer different types of assistance based on the needs. I consider my time at Maple Glen as one of my career achievements. I love all of the residents and I became The Employee of the Month in less than a year. Being a caregiver is a calling for me. I am proud to be one and I enjoy doing it! It is not an easy job but coming from a Filipino family surrounded by big hearted love ones, I carry it wherever I go, and I live up to the values my parents had taught me, which I am passing on to my daughter and son.
