I've care for elderly for for 10 plus. I live want I do.....

I have always been a mother like a figure in my family. I was raised with four brothers and one sister and starting at a young age I learned how to cook and clean and care for others. There were always jokes about me being the second mom. I believe that I would be a good caregiver because I am a naturally caring person and would love to grow in my experiences. I would be grateful to be a caregiver to know someone is in safe hands and can rely on me to make their day better. I am most proud of my history to be a goal oriented person. For example, in High School I was always someone who volunteered and was a part of sports and had good grades, I volunteered for V.O.F.T., S.T.A.N.D., and Big Brother Big Sister. These programs helped me become more involved in the community and help make impacts in so many peoples lives.

I'm a fun creative caretaker with over 25 years of experience. I have a 4 year old grandson that I care for that keeps me pretty active! I enjoy sharing my expertise with families and telling funny stories. I have a BA in Film/Digital media which allows me to channel my creative side.

Hi!! My name is Ashley and I have been in the healthcare world for about 8 years now! When I was 18 years old I became a nursing assistant and worked in a long term care facility where I took care of elderly patients with a variety of medical diagnoses. While doing that, I was also in nursing school! Right before I graduated, I became a nurse intern on a trauma unit in downtown cleveland, where I soon became a Trauma RN after graduating nursing school. I love what I do. I also love to travel! Over a year ago I decided to put the two together and be some a travel nurse! I have been exposed to so many new things because of that career change - both nursing and travel related. I am passionate about taking care of people and hope that someone would take care of my loved ones the way I take care of theirs. I recently just came home (Cleveland) from a travel assignment and have been itching for something new and meaningful. I also have home health experience and thought this would be a great fit!
