About Heather

I love being a caregiver I have always thought being a caregiver is a gift I am a people person and, I love taking care of others. I have 10 + experience with Dementia and Alzheimer's and find it is my specialty! I have been a CNA for over 10 years and, I have a lot of experience with with all the different parts of caregiving. I believe being a caregiver is about understanding that everyone is unique and, different and, should be respected and loved for who they are. Being a caregiver/ CNA is very important to me and I feel patience is the key to being a good caregiver. I look forward to talking with you more. Thanks!
