I enjoy the elderly population and having the opportunity to assist them to be able to stay in their own homes with friends and family available to be around them. It is my passion to communicate with the elderly population and glean wisdom and their understanding of life. I respect who they are and where they have been. It is rewarding to me to spend time with individuals and become a companion and friend. About 15 years ago I was able to purchase a large home for my family with a mother-in-law apartment. We all lived there together until she decided to move to a senior living facility. I believe it was the right thing to do and would do it again but you can not also predicted what the other person really wants. I am a caring person who enjoys being around people. I love adventure and new situations. I have learned a lot about myself in the last 3 years as I have enjoyed working as a medication aide and then as the activity director in an assisted living facility.I have extensive training in Alzheimer/dementia care and I have completed training in a program called Powerful Tools for Caregivers. I have in the past worked with the elderly in their home and am looking forward to doing it again.

I love taking care of the elderly. I have been doing this for over 20yrs and have experience in all fields. my best achievement was taking care of a guy with dementia, and seeing the smile on his face every day that I showed up for work. I'm 41 yrs old that truly has a passion for nursing, I'm a team player and have a loving heart for what I do. I have worked with Hospice, dementia, peds, orthopedics, icu, mental and so much more. I have two most amazing daughters that I love spending time with . I had a grandpa that had alzhmiers. That's what really got me involved with this. I also volunteer on my spare time.
