About Wendy

I have been a caregiver most of my life. I cared for my grandmother with bronchial asthma and half a lung,, my mother had a brain tumor for several years with thyroid cancer and skin cancer, my uncle had colon cancer and Parkinson's Disease and lived with me. I have 2 grown sons. I have a paraplegic wheelchair bound husband who works as a hospital administrator for a convalescent/hospice hospital. I have been a Licensed Vocational Nurse since January 2003. I love being a caregiver because I get great satisfaction from helping others deal with their health issues to meet their optimal health status, whether it be physically, mentally, spiritually, etc... if possible. I am also a massage therapist, singer, and poet. I use these skills if necessary also. I have gone on a Mission trip, voluntarily, to Ghana, Africa, to help triage on a nursing team, for Paul Wilbur Ministries. One of my most accomplishments in life. I also have volunteered to help deliver food to the hungry for Riverside Mission, among many other organizations.I also have worked as a nurse voluntarily for an autism camp a couple summers ago. I was a bus driver for the special needs children/young adults for approx. 6 years before graduating from nursing School. I have willingly been a part to give back to the human population whenever I can.

    I go above and beyond to make him/her happy and feel loved. I became a caregiver, because when I was a little girl, I always helped out my grandparents, until the day they both left this earth. I was under the age of 18 when they passed away. So thats when I decided I wanted to be a caregiver. What do I like about being a caregiver, it gives me joy to make them happy and feel loved. Its vary important that i make them happy an enjoy these last days on this earth. I might not be able to take care of all the elderly, but the one's i do take care of its with love. Thats all that matters... I'm most proud of completing schooling in business management,

    I began working with children and adults that have mental and physical disabilities over 20 years ago. I have also been a caregiver for the elderly during the past 20 years. I have worked as a PCA in a hospital. I work with agencies and privately as well. I enjoy helping people and have discovered this is the only work I truly enjoy. I have a daughter with autism and I know what it feels like to need help from others and to need to trust and depend on the kindness and understanding of others.
