About Nicole

HI, my name is Nicole ( Nicky) & I specialize in private home care as well as hospital after care and have been a care specialist for 10 years+ Becoming a caregiver was an unexpected twist in my life. At the age of 41 my best friend was diagnosed with Colon Cancer & my journey began. You are immediately part of a team; patient, family, doctors & yes the disease. Hospice, was what I learned and experienced next. This is where the most important work comes in. In person /working interviews are what are preferable for this kind of choice. Routine Dr. appointments as well as surgeries are a big part of companion care and I understand that. Driving to appointments within 10 miles. I teach care teams to use delivery for groceries and necessities. Delivery saves time and money. My care experience includes but is not limited to, Dementia, Parkinsons, Aphasia and other cognitive issues, along with mobility and eyesight and hearing challenges. Complete knowledge of pre op, post op surgeries. Rehab for replacement surgeries. Primarily I work as a companion/respite caregiver helping families with loved ones at home or living in assisted living communities. Also experienced with palliative and hospice situations. I'm excellent with Mommy Makeovers, Mastectomy, Facelifts, Masculinizing Chest Surgery and BBL aftercare. Companionship is where my heart is and reliable respite for the support team and family. Benefits of RESPITE - include, light housekeeping (folowing guidelines, I am NOT a maid), meal prep, companionship and whatever help is needed to get life back to manageable. Excited to start helping your family. Serious interest only, please and thank you. I live in North Las Vegas. In this very personal decision you will be making; please remember whether it's yourself or a loved one. You really do get what you pay for.1 Again Im Nicole & Im dedicated to making every day, the best we can make it.

Experience & Education

Caregiver, Companion, Assistant

Sep 2019 - Present
The Mckinney Family
I was hired initially to help with rehabbing a hip and a knee for Mr. McKinney. He is super healthy and rehabilitation with him turned into a routine of; a couple of mornings a week coffee, cleaning, walking and errands. If I could be of help in any way that's why I was there. Loved every minute of it. We had a great time. Unfortunately the pandemic ended this position. For serious future clients only, references available.

The Westlands
I came to work for Mr. & Mrs. Westland as a couple. I learned so much about Sweden and having life long love and calling! I knew I was working with a team. They both needed full care and they made it fun. Now I occasionally work for Mrs. Westland still full care, just less often. Full references are available for serious future clients.

I was my clients companion, friend and caregiver. I was hired and honored to be this families secondary care provider. His wife was his primary. He's a wonderful guy whose dementia diagnosis came shortly before I started. I cared for him until May of this past year. I'm grateful for the experience with this awesome couple and devoted wife. My client is now in a wonderful place that can care for him round the clock. For serious future clients, I would be happy to give full references.

Hospice

Aug 2014 - Apr 2015
Private
My first experience with caretaking began in the hospital. My best friend of 30 years was dying of what started as colen cancer and spread. I left my job and began living in the hospital to just be with her until she was transferred home for hospice. Of course there were nurses as well who could give the pain medication, but everything else was done by her mother or myself. After my best friends passing I knew, I could not use anymore time not feeling beneficial or helpful in some way by pushing paper in an office. Being with other people, caring for other people was what and where I wanted to be.
