For as far back as I can remember I have always enjoyed helping people. I attribute these skills to my great-grandmother, who raise me and taught me compassion and patience. In 1980 my great I grandmother became I'll. I cared for her for her until she passed away. I learned how to give a bed bath, pivot, use a transfer board, prevent bedsores by property turning in a timely manner and changing dressings. I also cared for a cancer patient that was bed written. I am able to cook do housework and have a valid drivers license. I have earned an Associates degree in human services; and I am currently earning a bachelors degree in human services. I also have experience with mentally challenged individuals. I am a mother and grandmother, and currently work at The College of Lake County. I have worked at this location for eight + years. I am responsible, trustworthy and put my best into accomplishing what needs to be done. I am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays from 9:00 am - 4:30pm, and Saturdays from 6am until 4:30pm

I have worked through a service and independently providing caring, compassionate services to seniors. I have few years of care giving experience. I offer companionship, meal prep, light housekeeping, shopping, laundry, change linens, transportation doctors appointment, groceries and errands, assistance with bathing. I am a great organizer and can do rooms, closets, and paperwork. I can assist with care of a dog as well. Working and caring for seniors makes me feel good.

I am very friendly and outgoing, and willing to go outside of my comfort zone. I am very reliable and flexiable. I enjoy helping others and making their lives as enjoyable as possible. I like people to live their life and not feel limited. The thing I enjoy most, is knowing I can make someone smile throughout the day, to remind them that they have so much ahead of them still, and that together, we can have a blast and build that one on one relationship. I am very proud to be part of the Firefighting Ems class at the CLC college, though firefighting is male dominated, I'd like to push myself and others, to do what we are told we can't. I like that I am constantly looking for challenge and new opportunites.

I have a compassion for elderly people. I take good care of them the best I can.

My name is Tracy Richel. I became a care giver about 20 years ago. I decided on this career choice when my great grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease.
