About Brooke

hello! I was a certified nursing assistant for 6 years and then I wanted to switch to one on one care. I've been caring for a woman in her home for 2 years now and it's definitely where I needed to be! I love being that support and friend that she needs and I can't wait to experience more of that! Caring for elderly is a passion of mine, and between working at a nursing facility and in private care, I feel that being home is the best option for them. I pride myself on giving the best care that I can, so they can be home as long as possible and have a high quality of life. That's the best place for them to be and I love being a part of allowing that to happen [?]

Experience & Education

Companion and care giver

Feb 2017 - Present
Private Care
My job as a companion/care giver is to help with normal daily tasks like bathing, cooking, cleaning, exercising, and driving my client from place to place. I am more of a companion at my current job which is very exciting because I have built such a special relationship with my clients. For some of them, I am most of the family that they have around and so being a part of their lives in a way that's so incredibly special to them, is why I love this job so much!

Having worked in various health care professions, I find it a passion of mine to work with our elderly senior populations. I have both professional and personal experience working with loved ones who may be suffering from Diabetes, requiring assistance with meal preparations, running errands, and providing positive companionship with someone who suffers from Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease. I am proud to say that I am an honorable person who truly cares about anyone they work with, and I will always treat all individuals I provide care for as if they are my own family.

Nursing is a calling for me. Making sure that people receive the best possible care I am able to provide is my most important goal. Safety first always, compassion, dignity, privacy, respect and hope are all important attribute's that I find essential to good nursing care. It is a meaningful gratifying experience to know that I can add to someone's life and possibility bring goodness when health issues can be a challenge and so often depressing. Good nursing requires being completely present while in someone's home or in a facility. My standards are no cell phones while at work, no clock watching, and I always address people with respect by using MR.or Mrs. (last name) until I am encouraged otherwise. Using Mama or Papa and other terms of endearment are not appropriate for me personally in professional healthcare. I use old fashion "yes Mam, yes Sir, no Mam, no Sir. and in an audible understandable language. CNA #00648980
