I hope to bring a smile each day to every client I work with; I'm a very positive person and reliable. I have nearly 30 years experience in the healthcare field. I was working in a factory setting in my youth and really was not happy. I saw an ad for a CNA class at the Rochester Manor, so by keeping my job and taking the class at night, I was able to learn a whole new career, which has been so gratifying. The people that I have been able to meet over the years are truly inspiring, and they all have a story to tell, and I enjoy lending an ear.

My name is Connie and my mother's name was Carol. I took care of her until her early death at 53 for 10 years. She had MS. After being in the veterinary field for 20 years, I've gained a level of comfortability with all things clinical and medical. I adore the elderly and have experience with Alzheimer patients and those with dementia. I think I would make a great addition to your family's health care plan and can really make a difference in your loved ones daily life. I'm a happy person and try to bring that to my clients everyday.

I have worked with both children and adults with developmental disabilities and during the course of this work I was able to maintain patience and empathy. I was attracted to the idea of care giving as I enjoy helping others achieve a higher quality of life as well as offering comfort and companionship. I enjoy seeing even the smallest of achievements and making a positive day for someone. One of my proudest achievements was working with a young man who went from hiding in his room to running a chess club.

I strive at caregiving because I am personal with my clients, making my service about them and their needs. I am always looking for ways to improve their lives!

Hello! My name is Kim. I have been a caregiver for 30 years, having taken off time while my daughter was in high school. I have an extensive amount of experience ranging from cancers to dementias to end of life and so much more. I would be happy to share. I am also an advocate, friend and offer support for both the patient and family. The expectations and standards I set for myself are: 1) Dignity and respect 2) When I walk into someone's home, I'm walking into their world. I dont expect them to walk into mine. Its about them and their needs. 3) Everyone is an individual. Same diagnosis does not mean the same kind of care. My care is based on the individual and their wants and needs. 4) Patience and being a great listener. How else will I know what is needed and wanted. I have provided care for many people. I've been told I probably know it all but I dont and I won't until I've taken care of everyone! Each person is different and I am always learning. Thank you for considering me! Kim McIntire
