About Ashley

I always wondered what my calling was in life, and sometimes still do... However when I hear the small, yet courageous, voices of the people I take care of as sick or as exhausted as they are, tell me that I've made their day, or I'm the most caring person, or that they love me, or even when they pray for me, I know over and over again that this is what I'm suppose to do-help people... 29 year old, mother of 5! I'm energetic, very organized, and I pay very close attention to details. I learn routines quickly, I listen to what I am told, and at times I am a bit of a perfectionist. I don't mind cleaning at all, I believe in keeping a clean and healthy environment for myself and my patients. I am very confident that your loved one will grow to love and care for me like one of their own, because that is the same way I care for them! Open to pets, religious beliefs, music, meditation, exercise etc!

I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse . I'm registered nurse from a foreign country working as certified nursing assistant with extensive experience working with seniors with different healthcare needs and trained to work with a lot of diverse cultures and settings. http://www.thequint.com/2015/aprhttp://www.thequint.com/2015/apr/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret

I started as a caregiver after I left teaching with CPS. Caregiving has become a passion for me. I am honored to be able to help others. I take pride in having high standards, especially when caring for others. I know how important it is to keep clients in their own home. I love that I can help people, especially those in the end stages of life. I am especially proud to have cared for 2 family members in their last months/years and have learned a lot. I continue to be willing/interested in learning whatever I can. I am proud of everything I've learned and taking that knowledge with me to each of my clients. I treat every client with the same care, love, respect, dignity and privacy that I would want to be treated. Each client is unique and I make sure to tailor my care to THEIR needs/wants. I truly enjoy being a caregiver and think of it as more than just a job; it's a dedicated lifestyle. I choose NOT to get my CNA license because it would tie my hands. I would not be able to do wound care, catheter changes, g-tube feedings and changes, medication dosage, administration, and set ups, insulin shots, or most of what I have done for my hospice clients. I have been trained by various Drs, nurses, hospice staff, CNAs, wound care specialists, and staff at The Rehab Institute of Chicago. I choose to learn and take everything I've learned to better my client's life, for as long as I can.
