I am a caring and skilled healthcare professional with more than 10yrs experience. I am licensed, have current CPR and first aide, negative TB, and FBI fingerprint clearance.

As a caregiver, my compassionate and patient nature, coupled with my expertise in healthcare, enables me to excel in providing support to those under my care. I was initially attracted to caregiving by my deep desire to make a positive impact on people's lives, driven by a commitment to improving the well-being of others. The most enjoyable aspect of being a caregiver is forming meaningful connections with individuals, witnessing their progress, and contributing to their overall happiness. One personal achievement I take pride in is successfully implementing a tailored care plan that not only addressed physical needs but also enhanced emotional and social well-being, resulting in positive outcomes and heartfelt appreciation from both the individual and their family.

I recently worked at Rainbow Rehabilitation as a Rehab Assistant where I was assigned to a client one-on-one on the midnight shift. My patient had recently been in a car accident that led to her getting surgery in her right leg. I learned how to perform wheelchair transfers, helped her shower, dress, prepare her meals, etc. I liked being able to go with her to PT when I worked a day shift so that I could see improvements being made. I recently graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science. I love traveling, the outdoors, reading and making arts and crafts.

My family is heavy in the care-giver business. Both parents have been taking care of many different kinds of people for the past 25 years, have helped family with care-giving. I love helping people and am a big humanitarian!
