Keene High School

I have had the amazing privledge of being a care giver for 30 yrs. Starting when I was 16. I feel gratitude for having found my life long passion at such a young age, and to have maintained a constant joy in my service to others. I am constantly learning, whether its meeting new clients or facing new challenges, reading and putting into practice new therapeutic modalities, As health care evolves so do I. I am a confident, competant PCA who loves to laugh and joke, and find what works best for each individual client and family. I am down to earth, compassionate, low drama. As a PCA I specialize in Alzheimer's and dementia care and excell at End of life care.

I have always wanted to care for people, nursing doctor somthing in that filed and one day my friend offerd me a job and a few days later I started it was the most amazing thing that happend to me I love my job and not many people can say that, I would never want to do somthing differnt I don't even want to be a nurse or a doctor because I love this so much!! Every type of person grumpy or happy I wouldn't choose anything differnt. I love being a care giver because I am able to have a personal connection with my clients I have worked with many differnt types of people and I can provide all differnt types of care I have had training for Alztimers, dimencia and hospice. I love making my clients feel good about them selves and putting a smile on there face is so rewarding to me, sometimes I will be the only person they see for a week so I want them to feel happy and satisfied about who is careing for them. I think one of my biggest goals I have reached is finally starting the job I love the next will be to have my own care giving service I promise to always give the best care to who ever I work for and nothing less!

I enjoy elderly people. I truly enjoy taking care of them and being there for whatever they need me to do.

I am 40 years old I have been in this field for20 years. I have worked in nursing homes,hospice,brain injury unit,hospitals. I have been in many different situations. I am reliable,honest& compassionate. I follow through & always make sure my client is well taken care of.

I have owned an in-home Elder Care Business before relocating to Florida. I have 20 + years' experience in home care. Experience with Alzheimer and Parkinsons as well as stroke and hospice. I am proud of being a strong medical advocate at medical appointments. I have been educated in Ophthalmology, Cardiology and currently a Florida Certified Medication Technician. I am up to date with Covid immunizations. Nonsmoker. I have assisted clients on OT and PT and Pool PT. I live in Central Florida with my husband and 3 Bulldogs.

I have worked as a LNA in the past and absolutely loved it. I take pride in being able to help those in need and help them enjoy and live there lives to the fullest. I first became a caregiver to children in need that had mental and physical disabilities. I now work with autistic adults and love that as well.

I became a personal care attendant because of my brother. He was born normal and went in for a routine tonsillectomy when he was 6 years old and they overdosed him with anesthesia and didnt resesitate him in time so he became brain injured. He was in a wheel chair and couldnt walk or talk and needed complete care 24 hours 7 days a week. So I helped take care of him my whole life and started actually working shifts with him when I was 14 and I loved every minute of it. I learned everything I needed to take care of him and I just love helping people. I have had 2 other pca jobs where I worked in home and one was an older man and the othe a man who was disabled from the waist down and could do his upper body things himself. So I have learned an array of different abilities and skills such as R.O.M. message, all the therapy's from physical to water to music and occupational therapy. I know the ADL's and much more. I'm happy to have had the experiance and knowledge around me while I was growing up and was able to nurture it and turn it into something I love!
