About Carol

My philosophy is that every single client deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I am a dedicated professional who has the desire to give loving one on one care to the client. I have been a registered nurse for 22 years. I have worked at a variety of nursing jobs during this time. For the last 7 years I have been taking care of my elderly father-in -law, who recently passed at the age of 94. I truly cherished my time as his caregiver. I feel I am an excellent caregiver with a wide range of experience , a nurturing personality and am very patient with people. I am confident that I can communicate and gain rapport with the client and their family members. I am a good listener, very responsible, and dependable. I am seeking the opportunity to provide your loved one with a caring and safe invironment!

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I like being able to assist others with chores and duties they cannot fulfill themselves, as well as being a companion to the elderly. A personal achievement I have made is making a difference in someone else's life. I have achieved this by tutoring many students within various school districts in all subjects, and youths both incarcerated and released, but were on probation. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Admin/Human Services, and plan to start on my Master's degree in the near future in Social work or Psychology. I love spending time with family and worship my four grandsons, they are a true blessing to me! ***My rates vary depending on the type of care needed and for multiple people. I also charge double time on holidays. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!
