Tracy R.

$20.00/hour · Butler, PA

I have spent the last 30 years working in healthcare. My passion is truly caregiving, whether I am at work applying my education and skill as a PTA, or at home with family members that needed care (meals, transfers, adls, exercises, grocery shopping, etc). While I try to be empathetic toward the client, I do encourage the person to do as much as they can, and support them as needed. I enjoy listening to the stories of their lives, and appreciate their wisdom. Caregiving just goes along with my profession as a PTA, and working in acute care. It makes me happy to help someone when they can't be with their family, and just need to feel some comfort when they are unwell, or unable to take care of themselves. Our family has dealt with the need for caregivers for both grandmothers and for my brother, following a brain injury. It was very important for me to incorporate working towards independence, and facilitating a feeling of purpose, when I was with them. I have spent 15 years working privately as a caregiver.

With a Psychology degree, I am able to communicate effectively with both the client as well as the client's family members. I offer compassion and understanding to each individual's family. I have a strong personality and am able to encourage my clients to allow me to help them with the services that are best for them even when they are reluctant. I am able to help them maintain their dignity and independence while assisting them with their every day tasks. I became a caregiver in 2016 when my company lost it's grants. I evaluated what other avenues were available to me to share my years of counseling experiences. I decided that as a home health care aid, I could help both the client themselves and their families. I enjoy knowing that I have helped a number of people remain in their own homes with dignity and respect.
