I love helping people. I am very compassionate and patient. I have a passion for the elderly and think they should be treated with dignity and respect. I love to listen to stories of days gone by and learn from their experience. Not only do I feel I can enrich these peoples lives, I feel I am enriched as well. I initially went int the field of Medical Assisting in order to make a difference in the lives of our older population. As a child of seven I started doing volunteer work with my grandmother at nursing homes. This has continued throughout my lifetime. As a young mother I took my babies to visit the patient/residents of nursing homes that did not get visitors. While I was earning my degree I worked at an assisted living at night. I especially enjoyed being in the dementia unit. After I completed my degree I moved to Lincoln City to be near my mother who is not in good health. She has a caregiver and I am here as her daughter. I do help out to give my father and her caregiver a break.
