Chelsea Y.

My name is Heather, I'm 41 and I've been a caretaker most of my adult life. It started when I helped care for my ex husbands grandmother and mother in their last years. From there, I ended up taking care of my own disabled children for the last 20 years. I have also worked as a care taker for Visiting Angels and learned a lot through them. As an environmental services worker in a rehabilitation and retirement home, they also provided extensive training for dementia and elder care. I enjoy enriching the lives of those most in need. I'm proud of consistently suprising myself with what I can learn and accomplish and the compassion and love I show to those around me.

I started caregiving when my father became sick with COPD. I found that I have the right compassion for people when they come to that point in life that an outsider is needed to help families. I have worked for a company in Ozark Missouri caring for people since 2011 And can provide a resume with references upon request! I have also worked at an assisted living facility Where I cared for 19 clients (Georgia's guest home) in Empire cailfornia. I have been caring for the elderly for well over 20plus years. I am easy to get along with as I know everyone likes things done their way. I try to make the clients comfortable as possible. Taking care of people for me is truly a gift and it has taught me patience and with that comes compassion. I enjoy hearing stories about the past and I learn new things from them wether it be a recipe or a easier way to do things. Personal achievements for me is knowing that in time we become comfortable and I get to make a new friend that I can make life a little easier for them. I learned long ago that listening and caring is very important to families and their loved ones. I have taken my COVID-19 vaccine for the safety of my clients.
