About Kimberly

I graduated from Dutchess BOCES in 2014 where I received my title as a certified Nurse Assistant where I did my training and received my clinical hours in different nursing homes. Where I had to care for people with different conditions. From alzeimhiemer, dementia, and hospice. Working with these people has helped me get more experience with patients that need care . I am working for Community home health care and they have sent me to different cases of people with their specific needs. One especially is a women who has ALS, it's a disease of the lack of communication of the brain and muscles. This woman is completely paralyzed, caring for her requires specific needs 24/7 and she is mentally good so she can tell me what she wanted at any time. Caring for her has helped me become a better caregiver because I would do everything for her.

I am a simple person and a lover of life with a positive outlook on life. Along the years, I have learnt to be patient, kind and maintain a joyful attitude in all situation and circumstances. What attracted me the most in being a caregiver was the ability to help others and also learn. In all the caregiving experience, I realised each individual is unique and I have been shown compassion which also made it easy to show compassion and appreciation to others . I enjoy being able to take care of others with a sincere attitude and also learning my boundaries along the way. I am a self taught jewelry designer. I design and make jewelry during my spare time. A proud aunt of four nephews and five nieces whom I love dearly and have had the opportunity of watching and taking care of them.
