I am a naturally caring person, who was raised by my grandparents, so I love and understand the elderly. I love hearing the stories of the past. I love getting to know the families and people involved in their lives. People are important and every person has value and a story to tell! I helped to take care of my grandmother as she was aging and I look back on that time w fond memories. Helping others stay in their home. Making someones life just a little bit easier can have great rewards. I took religion is college, of which I have 3 yrs. I have raised two children, and have been involved in my church over the years. I am now helping to raise two of my grandchildren which I adore! I am faithful and loyal, kind and gentle to others. I am honest and trustworthy.I love gardening, my grandchildren, and nature and all animals, especially cats and horses. In my younger years I was a CNA for about 10 years. Then helped my husband in the restaurant business for quite a few years, then went into janitorial at Hood River High Sch for awhile. I now have an additional 7 yrs (?) in caring for others. I love people! Now that I am a little older, I am enjoying taking care of the elderly and have a good understanding for what they need. I have been doing so for a number (10?) of years. I am a pretty easy going person to wk with.

I have grown up around my mom being a caregiver for many people of all ages. I have had a passion to help people since I was young. I have been in this field for many years not only talking care of my in laws, but also talking care of other people's grandparents and family. I currently have been working for a agency where I do in home care I truly love it. I love bringing smiles to people's faces. love getting to know the client one on one, working with them in there home, facility or wherever they are. I'm compassionate, hard working love to see people smile then I know I'm doing a wonderful job at the end of the day. I love knowing at the end of the day I was able to help that person and make a difference in there life's and brings joy to mine for knowing I made that happen. I'm reliable, always on time, willing to try new things and just make a difference in a older persons life.
