I love helping people. I am very compassionate to those I serve. I have been a caregiver for over 30 years. I completed my Nurse Assistant Training in 1989. It takes a special person to be a Caregiver. It is essential to be patient and kind, dependable, knowledgeable and SKILLED. It is also necessary to be creative when issues arrive. CPR and First Aid must be required; I have both the skills and certification. I handle emergencies calmly, efficiently, and professionally. Having a sense of humor is also a plus! I also enjoy learning about my clients ie, where they were born, where they spent their childhood or went to school, their first job, etc. It gives me great joy to be a Caregiver, my true calling! In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, fly fishing, camping, and exploring. I love to read and visit my local county libraries often. I love animals, especially dogs and cats. Growing up in Oregon, I was involved in 4H and FFA and Girl Scouts. I love animals, growing flowers, rock hounding, buying art, attending plays and concerts, and visiting museums.

Hello, my name is Eva, and I would love to get to know you! I got into caregiving because growing up I spent a lot of time as a patient in the hospital. Although a hospital and a home are quite different environments, I still know from experience what a huge difference a great caregiver can make in someone's day. This is why I am passionate about getting to know clients on a personal level! What are your interests and hobbies? What do you like your routine to look like? My favorite part of this work is getting to know individuals and be able to accommodate to and enrich your lifestyle. Thank you for reading, I look forward to meeting you!

I've done caregiving in the past and worked in the corporate world for many years. I enjoy helping people and have decided to go back to caregiving.

I believe I was called to work with this generation of people. I find joy in the simple things and helping others find joy in each day. I love to laugh and help with not only activities of daily luving, but also with enabling a sense of independence and accomplishment in my clients.

I am kind, compassionate, and patient. I'm also very clean and provide a clean environment which I believe supports good health. I'm happy to have a variety of chores, responsibilities from personal care, home care, gardening, or listening to the people I'm caring for. I enjoy most about being a caregiver is providing the care that people need as they age, heal, and continue to help them participate in their lives as actively as they can. Although it can have its challenges, I have lived in my clients homes in order to better manage their care. A personal achievement I am proud of is my ability to adapt to the responsibilities, personalities and desires of those I'm working for. With a strong marketing and design background, I kept my clients happy, and continued to grow my skills in various areas. In apparel production, I grew the financial bottom line of the clothing lines. Currently, I'm very proud of the heart and soul I bring to the home in order to care for people who need care.
