I am a care giver at heart! I have always been the nurturer of the family. I have 17+ yrs experience with caring for the elderly. 13 of those years specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia care. I learned from my previous residents' that it's important to have a sense of humor in this field of work, which I can think I'm a comedian some days! I never knew this work was meant for me until it just fell into my lap one day and was told by many I was a natural. I find it very rewarding seeing my patient's happy, see someone relieved of their pain, or just making that special bond or friendship after earning their trust. Whether it be just for a moment in each day, to see that I made my patient's life a little bit easier for them-makes caregiving so worthwhile. Something I have achieved would be staying in this field of work for so many years. There are people that simply aren't capable of doing the "dirty work" that comes with the job title. I can admit sometimes there will be "bad days,"but will always realize that at the end of the day- the good outweighs the bad....

Loving caring I am a great chef love too cook love to clean and I am a animal lover

A few things about me are I am an extremely outgoing person, I love to make people smile and feel joy! I became a caregiver soon after I became a mother because I developed a passion for helping others and bring laughter around. Being a caregiver is more than a job to me, my residents become my family and I love looking out for them. Caregiving showed me the path I wanted to be on and helped me decide what I wanted to do with my life, I have pushed myself to lengths I didn't even know possible; and for that I'm beyond proud.

I'm a very compassionate and understanding individual. My interests are psychology, sociology and science. I've come to understand the importance of our elders and their needs through me taking care of my grandparents. I've grown to see their importance and I've seen how people can struggle to balance work and family. I can tell you that it's hard but with the right help it can get easier and I'm here to help.

I began my journey of helping others 18 years old when I acquired a license in personal training with a focus on corrective exercise. My college years in kinesiology enhanced my empathy when I spent 100 hours interning at an in-patient rehabilitation facility where the focused population were those who sufferedTBI, joint replacement and neurological disorders. Later, through my honor society, the volunteer time I chose was split between tutoring STEM to 8th grade students in underprivileged communities (Austin Partners in Education) and organizing games and activities at an adult day care (AGE of Central Texas) where families took their loved ones who needed a little extra help dealing with dementia and Alzheimer's while they were at work during the day. Simultaneously juggling these humbling populations - those tryin to find self identity and those trying to maintain their sense of self identity really helped balance my own ego, instilling a life long humility and a sense of being a servant leader to those around me. I finished my studies at Texas State University with a major in Exercise Physiology and a minor in math. Since then I have continued to serve others where I have honed my skills in helping those achieve better quality of life through functional movement creating individualized programs combining clinical massage and corrective exercise. To conclude, I am a well rounded, loving and caring person who enjoys helping others find balance their quality of life with the aught most attention to safety in application.

I feel I'm an up beat, positive person. I am very kind & caring naturally, it's just who I am & what I do. Doesn't matter if I'm working or not. I love helping people just in general being able to build friendships & making peoples life a little easier daily makes me happy. I feel am very lucky to be able to wake up & help make a persons day a little happier just by being there for them and helping them out. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is getting to meet all the different types of people & hear their different life stories. My greatest accomplishments I'm most proud of in life would be my 2 amazing kids.
