I realize how important it is for our elderly to be able to age in place, I've lost loved ones in nursing homes due to lack of quality care or facilities being understaffed. This led me to Caregiving and wanting to be able to make a difference in the lives of our senior community. Our seniors have so much to give and teach us, I've met so many amazing senior's and love to hear their stories about their lives. I love being a Caregiver and putting a smile on the faces of the person's I care for. Over the years I have worked with several professional Caregiver Agencies as a Caregiver/Home Health Aide with extensive on-going training earning many Certificates, working with Clients ranging from ADL's, to Hospice care and Dementia care. I work for Colorado State CDASS program caring for Quadriplegic persons with extensive training focusing on Catheter care, Wound care, Bowel program, Physical Therapy, Hoyer Lift & Sling, Nutrition & Special diet. I also have extensive knowledge of Diabetes and Epilepsy. I hold a Certificate for Mental Health First Aid.
