About Heather

Welcoming you with warm wishes. Just wanted to share alittle about me. I'm 34 yrs old. I've worked since age 14yrs. My mom was a single mom raising 3 kids. I enjoyed working hard and I have always been a giving hearted person. I remember I used to get my paychecks an was so excited I was able to but my mom dinner from a days hard of work. I was first introduced to an entry level position in the State of Kansas as a Residential Trainer for people who face physical and mental challenges and I did that for 3 years. It was so rewarding. Very hard work but I have always been very open to learning new things and I enjoy challenges. If we stay in where were comfortable. The you limit yourself from learning and doing what you can to be the hands and feet for Gods kingdom. After doing that for 3 yrs I decided to get my nurses aide license and doing that for so many years has been such a wonderful opportunity. I absolutely love my elders and I AM THE VOICE WHO SPEAKS UP FOR THEM. I believe that there is way too many people shoved in a room with a facility that lacks sufficient staffing to give the residents attention to give them the essentials like a regular bath and hygiene and clothes put on. I've seen too much of the THE BAD AND THE UGLY in institutions and to me that's NO WAY for anyone to live or spend there retirement in. I love talking and sharing stories, praying, I enjoy providing exceptional care to all clients I come in contact. I'm very friendly. My passion in life is people going above and beyond the call of duty. I'm flexible and reliable as I dont have any kids. Just 3 sweet dogs. Goals I'm working towards and emails the Congress is to shut down institutions and create group homes with a maximum of 5 clients per 1 Nurses Aide Ratio because in the end it would save money on healthcare costs for our elders and reduce risk and injuries and could extend there life. https://www.facebook.com/HealingBeginsInTheHeart Blessings- Heather Sperry

Primarily worked for a private duty patient who has A.L.S. It was a great honor and he is loved by so many. I learned so much too more than I ever would anywhere else. Tje position was handed over to my sister full time in 2017 because the technology became way more than my anxiety can bare. I still visit when I can. And hes has grown to be love by many. I went on to do some retail and travel nursing.

I'm a great worker Dependable trustworthy hard-working I've been in private caregiving for the past 4 years I love what I do.When I'm with them I try to make them as happy as possible. Getting them to do things that they love to do! Exercising, experience with dementia am Alzheimer's disease. Walking puzzles, playing card, shopping ect, bathing showering cleaning house doing laundry and taking them to appointments especially hair appointments that they love. I absolutely love taking care of the elderly so they can stay in their homes as long as possible. Something I love to do giving back is one of the most important things in my life so caring for them at their age helps me fill my soul never had grandparents I think this is why I do what I do when I was a little girl I was in the hospital in and out and the nurses were absolutely wonderful to me so my whole life I've always wanted to be a nurse but took another path and got married and had children so now I think this is the best thing for me that I can do is close enough as being a real nurse is taking care of the elderly as.
