About colleen

Because I love my clients, and they love me. I have a very calm and caring nature. I love going to clients and getting a connection as soon as I meet them. I have a Wa. state license from a 75 hour course and all the testing from Cornerstone Healthcare Training Co. I have certificates from them in Orientation, Caregiver Mental Health Specialty Training,75 hours of DSHS Long Term Care Worker Training, Core Basic Training. I also have a Certificate of Achievement from my last employer. I have been caregiving for almost 8 years and have enjoyed meeting and caring for app. 100 clients in that time. The best thing about caregiving is the caring for the clients, the downside is the passing of the client. I have dealt with many different personalities and many different medical needs. I am an excellent cook and housekeeper. I can and have experience with all their needs and wants. It comes down to just loving my job greatly.

I became a caregiver because I have a deep passion for helping others and bringing joy to their lives. My journey into caregiving was inspired by my own experience as a parent to a child with special needs, which has given me a unique perspective and understanding of compassionate care. I take pride in being someone my clients can trust to not only get the job done but to go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and satisfaction. My primary goal as a caregiver is to provide exceptional support while fostering a genuine connection with those I care for. I strive to be more than just a worker I aim to be a dependable companion. I enjoy cooking, gardening, and caring for animals, and I always incorporate my skills to create a warm and supportive environment for my clients. With 19 years of experience in caregiving, I've worked in various settings, including nursing home facilities and private duty care. Each role has reinforced my love for this work and my commitment to making a difference in my clients' lives. I specialize in supporting adults and children with special needs across a variety of conditions, and I take immense pride in providing the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. Helping others brings me joy and fulfillment, and I'm dedicated to ensuring that every individual I work with feels valued, respected, and cared for.
