I am a fun loving person who deeply cares about all people in the community. I have both personal and professional experience with caregiving and majority of my family members are caregivers which is what attracted me to it that and I love helping others who are in need. I enjoy the bonds that I make with my clients and their family.

I have been a caregiver most of my adult life starting as a CNA in the 1980's and then moving on to the Emergency Services Field as an EMT/Paramedic to most recently a Medical Assistant , Lab Assistant and Home Health Care for Seniors. I found my calling with working and caring for our most precious people, our seniors. I am compassionate, level headed and patient with a sense of humor and l would love to bring safety and fun into your home.

I am a very caring and patient person. I also take the initiative to make sure that my job is done to its fullest. My mom got me my first job at Rem Iowa so following in her footsteps I provided care there for 16 years. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is knowing that people are taken care of and that makes me feel like I am giving back to the community. My most proud achievement is being a mother to my four amazing children.

Hello! My names Paige! I'm so excited to meet you. I'm a very energetic and outgoing person. I love to meet new people and I'm very determined and passionate in the work I do. Honestly what attracted me to be a caregiver is because I love helping people and growing up, I seen my grandma in a really bad place at the nursing home she was at. And I couldn't stand to see her like that. I love the bond that I get with my clients. I work at an assisted living in the memory unit and I've made so many great relationships with not only my residents but coworkers as well. I love my job. A personal achievement of mine is that I'm going to nursing school. I have 4 kids and honestly never thought I would actually go through with going to nursing school.

I am a gentle and loving nurse whose heart is in providing all encompassing care for seniors so they can remain in their home. As a nurse I can help with medications, wound care, diabetes care but also enjoy providing companionship, help with bathing, dressing, ambulation and transfers, cooking, laundry and help around the house.

I enjoy the elderly population and having the opportunity to assist them to be able to stay in their own homes with friends and family available to be around them. It is my passion to communicate with the elderly population and glean wisdom and their understanding of life. I respect who they are and where they have been. It is rewarding to me to spend time with individuals and become a companion and friend. About 15 years ago I was able to purchase a large home for my family with a mother-in-law apartment. We all lived there together until she decided to move to a senior living facility. I believe it was the right thing to do and would do it again but you can not also predicted what the other person really wants. I am a caring person who enjoys being around people. I love adventure and new situations. I have learned a lot about myself in the last 3 years as I have enjoyed working as a medication aide and then as the activity director in an assisted living facility.I have extensive training in Alzheimer/dementia care and I have completed training in a program called Powerful Tools for Caregivers. I have in the past worked with the elderly in their home and am looking forward to doing it again.

I have worked in many jobs in my life and most were not very rewarding. I have lost both of my parents over the last 6 years and in losing them I believe my life deserves to serve a greater purpose.

I very much enjoy spending time with and helping other people. I've always been one to put everyone else needs in front of my own and love to put a smile on the face of others. I come from a big family and raised my younger brothers and sisters and now have 5 children of my own, so I would like to think that I've been taking care of people my entire life.
