About Kathy

I have been caring for seniors in one capacity or another most of my life. I worked in a nursing home when I was 18 for about a year. Although it is not the career path I eventually followed, caring for people has always been something that I truly enjoyed. I was a volunteer at a local nursing home here in Cartersville, for several years. I have also cared for both of my elderly grandmothers, one of which lives with us now. After 10 years working in IT, I was ready for a change,. I graduated from Coosa Valley Tech with a certification as a CNA in 2009. I very much enjoy this work as it allows me to make a difference in peoples lives and make their last years more comfortable living in their own homes. After working for a very nice gentleman from 2009 until 2012, he passed away. I began working for a couple in their 80's and 90's. The wife had a stroke about 8 yrs. ago and required help with bathing, dressing, and ambulation. Unfortunately as time moved on they began to require someone 24 hrs. a day, which I am unable to provide. I helped them find someone to live-in and today was my last day. On to the next adventure.

Hello, my name is Deborah Mosher. I was a private care giver for one woman and a married couple for three years. As a caregiver I have experience in med reminders, bathing, dressing, transferring, speech & memory exercise, doctor visits, light cleaning, cooking, and running errands. I understand and respect the elderly as they have loss of memory and physical difficulties. I was a medical assistant with the same doctor for over 12 years and I have experience in vitals, bandaging wounds, and caring for ill patients. I am a volunteer and work for the school system and had my national background/fingerprints completed. I cared for my mother for many years who was a heart patient and diabetic. .

Gretchen E.

$20.00/hour · Dallas, GA

Hello my name is Gretchen and I am a mother to three boys. I have been in the elderly care and childcare profession for over 25 years. I am currently attending Georgia Highlands College for nursing. This January was four years since I have been going to their school. I finally am able to apply for the nursing program this fall. I have completed all my core classes for my bachelors, so when I do get my degree in Associates in Science of Nursing I can bridge to the BSN program quickly. I am CNA certified. I have my first aid and/CPR AED BLS certification and also got my TB test complete and it came back fine. I also got a back round check as well. I am trying to find a job or a website that offers CNA's that are not linked to agencies. I am also more interested in doing in home care/private care or preferably at Wellstar. I have wonderful references from the families and jobs that I have worked for over the last 25 years. I will say I have taken time off these past four years since I had became a mother again and since I have been attending school these past four years.I live in the Dallas/Acworth area off of Cedarcrest. I am patient, loyal, compassionate, trustworthy & a dependable person who has always loved to care for the elderly, children or anyone who is in need of care. I am hoping to find a private family where the pay is $25 an hour. There is a little room for negotiating on my pay if the job is right for me and my family. But, also making sure I am a great fit for you and your family too!
