I have over eight years' experience in the care industry. I began as a CNA working in nursing homes for four years before moving on to being a home counselor helping integrate the mentally challenged into society. After retiring from the workforce in 2010, I returned to work in home care for senior citizens. I have gained a wide variety of skill and maintain a professional connection with all my clients. I currently work with two home-care agency's and constantly educate myself to hone my skills. My compassion for senior citizens began while in middle school in the small town of Center Point Iowa. We have an eight apartment senior building close to the school. Every day, I would stop by, pick up the newspaper in front of the door and knock. Every time I was invited in to socialize. Listening to live history those folks lived through will always be in my fondest memories. I love taking care of those who paved the way for our society. Every client I meet gets professional care with a friendly, family atmosphere.

I've been in healthcare since I've been 18 yrs old. I come from a large farm family and have grown up caring for one another. We enjoyed caring for our grandparents and I always enjoyed listening and learning as much as I could from them. I enjoy seeing the smile on my clients faces, knowing I helped put it there. They make me smile and so happy as well!

What makes me great caregiver is my patients, empathy and compassion. I understand that slowing down is a process of aging. Allow elderly to move at their own pace without making them feel like they are being rushed provides them with the sense of independence. I do care about their concerns and frustrations due to their life changes. I am dependable and I understand the importance of being on time and prepared to preform schedule duties. I am positive and happy person who enjoys helping others and love to make others smile! :)

I'm a very compassionate member of the nursing home team. I care for the residents thoroughly and build trusting relationship to make the residents feel as comfortable as possible during their stay at any facility. I consider myself a hard worker and a quick learner of people and what they expect to make there cares to their own liking. Especially considering I work well with my employees.
