I am caregiver at my core. I have a variety of experiences and extensive training from spending 8 years as a CNA, working in memory care, Skilled Nursing & doing private in home respite. I spent 14 years as a Social Worker after earning a Bachelors in the field. I then raised 4 kids while running a successful piano studio. In 2013 I went back to school & earned a degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant which I feel combines my love of Caregiving with both my experiences as CNA & Social Worker. Home Health is stressful and crazy and I miss the relationship building. Looking for a different setting to apply my knowledge, skills and love of helping. I care deeply for my patients, enjoy building trust and enabling patients to have the best self determined quality of life possible! I'm patient, quiet natured and even keeled. I tend to be very empathetic and connect deeply with those I care for. In most cases, I feel those I care for enrich my life and give me back more than I give. I have learned much from those I've worked with and cared for. It's humbling and rewarding work.
