About Heather

I became a care giver because I like helping others. I like that feeling of knowing I am doing something that is beneficial to someone else, and I receive nothing but their satisfaction and smile. What makes me a good care giver is that I have much experience and I have grown up watching my mother take care of others, she worked for an agency where she brought her individuals home over night, not only did I get to watch and learn I got to help as well. I fell in love with taking care of others watching my mother do her job. I have all of my certifications - medical technician, CPR, and First Aid - they are all still good until July of 2016. A personal achievement I am proud of is not only am I there to make sure you're loved one is taken care of, but I like to connect with my individuals on a higher level. I enjoy learning about their life, things they've experienced, what they like and dislike. I have worked with non verbal individuals as well, and wether they are verbal or non verbal I am always able to learn them and see what they prefer. I absolutely love what I do, and I feel as though I would be a great fit for your family.
