About Natalie

My name is Natalie Bruce. I'm 46 years old, happily married with no children( except two adorable mini poodles). I'm originally from New England and moved to Arizona 18 years ago. I would describe myself as being dependable, resourceful, kind and as having a very strong work ethic. I am empathetic, honest, loyal and believe in the Golden Rule. I'm creative and artistic with three or four projects always in the works! Also, I have a fitness/post rehab therapy background and have been a nutritional counselor since 2002. As well as being a C.N.A./Med Tech, I've owned and operated a meal delivery service for people who have special dietary requirements or they want healthy, tasty meals in their fridge, ready to eat in minutes! Being a caregiver has enabled me to assist many people and families at a time that can be extremely difficult. I enjoy having the opportunity to give my time and expertise, and helping to preserve a person's dignity when they may feel lost. Kindness and patience goes a long way here.

I'm a very compassionate person, and I've enriched the lives of many, while in the comfort of their own surroundings. I've worked in the medical field as a respiratory technician for 15 years, and I've been a certified caregiver for 20 years and found that in home health care is where my passion lies. The majority of my clients are elderly, and to remove them from their surroundings can often cause them too much trauma. Being in their homes with them, and assisting them in day-to-day activities, is always more comfortable and provides a much happier environment. I know at the end of each day I have shown them compassion and made their lives more comfortable and peaceful. I am certified in CPR and FIRST AID, and I am a CERTIFIED CAREGIVER. I also have an extensive medical background as a RESPIRATORY TECHNICIAN ,and other aspects in the medical profession.
