Heather S.

I'm a compassionate, very conscientious, dedicated, patient and professional caregiver, home health aid, and CNA with excellent work ethics. I pay attention to details, and provide peace of mind to families knowing that their loved ones are in good hands. Highly sought out, and requested by the same clients. When I worked for EHM Senior Solutions, all of my long-term clients would rather not have anyone else come in from the company when I was not available. With all of my clients that needed 24 hour care and had several caregivers, I was the only one asked to stay on assignment when they no longer needed 24 hour care. Lastly, I had a client that was put in Hospice Care and was given 3 days to live. After 1 month of starting the assignment, my client graduated from Hospice, and lived for another 2 years. He was 100yrs old.

I'm very patient, caring, dependable and responsible with over 25 years experience, Carelinx is part time now as I am a full-time CPA for Home Instead Senior Care. I began caregiving as a child. Growing up my mother was very sick and in and out of the hospital. She struggled with COPD, Cancer, and a number of other illnesses. She passed away when I was a young woman. When I was in my early 20s I worked at a personal care home with about 15 residents. I was the only caregiver on duty most of the time. I gained a lot of experience working with Alzheimer's, stroke, and diabetics during that time. Afterwards I began working with a quadriplegic. I gained a lot of experience working with hoyers, lifts, special vehicles that have belts, and lifts for electrical wheel chairs, etc. At that time I also became familiar with bowel treatment and care for urine bags, etc. After my patient moved to another state I began to care for a retired military gentleman with whom I worked with for almost 12 years. He passed away in July of 2018. I took a long break from caring for people after he passed. I enjoy helping people. I genuinely care for and about people. It has always been rewarding for me. It helps me to feel good about who I am, knowing that I've actually made someone else's life better.
