About Stephanie

I'm UPDATING my profile today, 6-3-2019, to reflect an upcoming change in my life: I plan to move in with my 86 year old Dad, next month. He loves to drive (he has 4 cars!) but his doctor has suggested that he not drive alone to unfamiliar places. (He has memory loss and gets turned around easily.) What I love about the Carelinx platform is that it allows me to offer my services as a professional caregiver to families that need my help while being able to care for my family members, too. I have over 17 years of experience as a caregiver and a sympathetic ear, especially when it comes to caring for elderly parents! I can understand how you feel because I'm going through and have gone through many of the same things. (My Mom passed away in May 2014.) Feel free to contact me if you need a caregiver for 2-3 days per week, for 4-6 hour afternoon shifts or if you just need to talk to someone willing to listen. May the Lord bless and comfort you through these challenging times. - Stephanie

Being self-employed as a writer/publisher makes it easy for me to make my client's schedule my priority. As an entrepreneur, I know the value of being dependable, good communication skills, and a great attitude. I care for my clients the same way I would want someone to care for me or my loved ones.

Personal Care Assistant + Certified Dementia Caregiver (2015-2017)

Home Helpers of Greater Milwaukee
Really enjoyed my last long term assignment, of just over a year, serving a couple in their 80's in which the wife had dementia and the husband was recovering from a stroke. The wife's need helped motivate me to successfully complete a dementia caregiver's course. I worked the overnight shift as part of a team of caregivers providing 24/7 care. My duties included med reminders, monitoring the clients' health and well being, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other tasks, as needed. Effective communication with their 5 adult children and the other 5 members of the caregiving team was also an important part of this assignment. I traveled with the family several times to provide care while they were vacationing.

I get asked all the time "why would you want to be a CNA, why would you want to work in such a stressful field ?" My answer to them is "Because I love my job," but the true answer goes way deeper than that. I love my job because of all of the little things; The smiles that you get when you walk into a room, hearing a typically nonverbal person answering you, someone calming down just by the sound of your voice and most importantly all of the thank you's said by families. Being a CNA is investing all of your time into someone you once never knew but now not being able to imagine your life without them. My advice to all future CNAs would be, wear your bruises with pride knowing that you gave it your all.

I'm very trustworthy, honest and kind person. I became a caregiver because my grandmother suffer health issues that couldn't not be met in a traditional senior living facility so I took several class to learn all the cares she needed at the time. However one thing that I enjoy the most as a caregiver is smiles and laughter from a patient that's comfortable with the way I care for them. One thing that I person achievement that I'm proud of is giving back to others that needs help.
