About Heather

I am a person who really enjoys helping people. Besides being a wife and mother it's really my only goal in life. Working with people who need the extra help allows me to fulfill that goal. The stories they have and the learning experiences they provide are what brought me to home health care, I could listen to most of my clients for hours. My clients love having someone there that truly listens to them. And I am extremely gental but firm at the same time which allows me to help them in the most efficient way without hurting them, and that gives my clients a piece of mind that I know what I'm doing.

Lisa W.

I have over five years experience in working as a CNA. It comes naturally when you genuinly love what you do. Providing a safe and comfortable environment. Being a good listener and patience is key. I currently work at a nursing facility and I have a fan base there!! I can tell if I'm away for to long cause they are always asking other caregivers where is Lisa? When is SHE scheduled to return? When I do report to work, I'm always given hugs and words of appreciation. It's a good feeling. Going out of my way for a person is no big deal. It's needed sometimes cause your clients are your family too.
