About Heather

In high school I took the program for CNA classes, to help others as I did for my grandmother before I lost her at the age of 15. I'm quiet, and I keep to myself, but I'm a caring person. I get my work done, and if I can I will work over my time if needed. I love most about being a CNA is that I can help other's when they can't help themselves, and knowing I can make a difference in their life. I have been working as a CNA for many years and have four children and as much as I love doing this I had made the decision to go back to school in the health field, so I can further my self in helping others. I want to be able to understand how they feel, what they love and what they dislike. Most of my job is hands on and that's what I love most, however there is other things that people need and that is for someone to talk to, and I don't think us CNA's get enough time to know our patients. That's why I'm going back to school.

    I became a caregiver for my mother in 1990's after her memory began deteriorating due to dementia. Her goal was to remain living in her own home as long as possible. At first I helped by preparing meals and assisting with housekeeping chores. Later I assisted with personal hygiene such as bathing and washing hair and with daily errands such as grocery shopping and yard work. I like being a caregiver because it is a very rewarding experience. I like being able to help people remain in the comfort of their own homes as they age. A personal achievement I am proud of is being a mentor to my step daughter. She went through some rough times as a teenager and I was there for her. I lead by example and was and still am a consistent caregiver in her life. She is finishing up her Senior year in college and has a bright future. I have worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years. I am also an artist, painter, photographer and writer. I live in the country and enjoy gardening, bicycling, going for walks and being outdoors.
