Auburn University-Montgomery

I've been a nurse for two years now and have developed an affinity for our elderly population. I've primarily been in a hospital setting and have recently worked in an assisted living facility, so I've gained experience in taking care of patients with many different ailments, including diabetes, heart failure, and dementia. I am very patient and willing to devote my time and attention to caring for your loved one with the goal of reaching their best, healthiest selves possible.

I have worked with people for many years and I now know that is my true calling! I love to talk to others, to make them smile, and to make them feel better. I wanted to become a caregiver after I watched others around me interact with people helping to care for them. I enjoy helping others so much and I believe that just by helping someone it can improve my day and theirs. A personal achievement I am proud of is being able to be a mother and a nursing student. It was hard at first, but I am truly proud to say that I have accomplished some of my obstacles.

I received my CNA certification in 1996 and worked in nursing homes until my husband was injured on the job leaving him paralyzed in 2002. I then, in 2004, cared for him until he passed in 2011. After taking a few years off, I began as personal caregiver once again. I am compassionate, caring and very reliable. My experience is in many areas such as dementia, Alzheimer's, transferring, med management, companionship gait belt, wheelchair, tube feeding also housekeeping and meal planning and preparation. My experience and compassion, I feel, makes me a great candidate to care for your love ones.

I am college educated and a veteran of the U.S. Marune Corps. I have often done odd jobs and assisted my neighbors with jobs and chores around the house. I enjoy doing so, and I look forward to providing you or your loved one with whatever assistance is needed.

I love helping people and I love doing what I do.
