About Bonnie

Caregiving is my heart and my passion. Providing care to anyone in bed is incredibly fulfilling to me. Sometimes you know the direction life is going to take you and other time you don't know where you're going until you get there. Becoming a caregiver was something I fell into and have loved since the moment i arrived. The relationships I've built are irreplaceable and I'm proud of the work I've done. I've helped to improve the quality of life for those otherwise unable to thrive on their own. In particular I am proud of the work I've done with those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's. Bringing some light back into their world and keeping them comfortable and safe requires patience, compassion, and flexibility every day. I am proud of my work and honored to care for those living with the disease.

Caregiver

Feb 2012 - Dec 2015

Howard family trust

Live in caregiver to Dottie Howard. Dottie was 93 and battling dementia and other physical ailments that made movement difficult. I assisted her with toileting, bathing, dressing, PT, eating, medication, and transportation. I was also responsible for the budget, bills, housework, and cooking. On the weekends I helped the caregivers who relieved me with anything they need and was the emergency contact if anything happened. In the end I assisted with comfort care as she grew too ill and ultimately making the appropriate calls when she passed.

Caregiving jobs can be extremely rewarding for the right type of person. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. like older adults I can get along well with a variety of elders and family members. I like doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I like making them smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in my attention to details.

I became a cna in 1997 and continued my desired position for 12 yrs ranging from convalescent homes to Lindsay and Sierra hospitals then my last employer was private in home that's where I realized I was my happiest, the friendship and bond you create is so much more then just helping someone out and going on your way, I bonded and made a friend along the way which was good for all parties involved. I have been a stay at home mom and wife for the past 2-3 yrs now since I lost my friend due to the battle but I am eager to help another in need and possibly make a new friend.
