About Cheryl

Caring for others is my passion. I have worked with the HIV+, Incarcerated, Homeless, Mentally-challenged and Substance Abuse populations. I have recently completed a course in CNA to work with seniors. I also have an Associate's Degree in Medical Records Technology and need 21 credits to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Human Services. My personal achievement is that I still have the desire to work with people and have the health to do so.

    Hello My is Nancy, I enjoy working one on one with people, and I especially love to make them smile by doing little things to brighten their day. I'm a registered CNA and HHA. I have taken care of several family members and friends of family and I've worked as a home health aid. Every person is special and everyday can present a new challenge and I am constantly learning from my clients. One woman in particular that I cared for was 65 yrs old. She was deaf & mute and taught me ASL sign language. So taking care of an individual is part of the job, but 'Caring For Them' is a large part of My heart.

    I love being a caregiver because I love to do for people and love to make them happy. I worked at a nursing home for about 18 years and leaving at the end of the day knowing I made someone smile made me going home feeling good and it made my day
