My name is Charlotte Findley I'm 54 yrs old. I worked many years in health care. My aunt, who was Director of Nursing at a Care Center took me to work with her when I was 12 yrs old. I fell in love with the company of older people. The stories and wisdom I would crave from there on. I started volunteering at the center. My aunt said I added a little joy to their lives helping them but really it was my life that an abundance of joy did they add. Those are days I will always be greatful to have had. I found my calling , Caregiving!!! I had a small in home daycare in my early 20s. (back when i could keep up with several whipper snappers -those were the days lol) I have worked as a CNA in Care Centers. I also worked as a Home Health Aide (HHA) and as a Companion/Homemaker for folks in their homes. I worked as a Residential Assistance Tech (RAT) ingroup home settings, assisting those with intellectual different-abilities live as independently as possible. Though I didn't make a fortune money wise I certainly feel very rich with many wonderful memories and friendships Ive gained along the way. I haven't worked for quite sometime . I spent the years since being officially employeed helping care for my little sister who was born with special needs and was total care from the time she was born 1992 until her passing in 2014 . I cared for my dad through his experience with esophalgial cancer that later went to his brain. He had two surgeries, chemo and radiation . He peacefully transitioned, as he refered to it, at my home in Feb 2015. I then focused on caring for myself and home. I was given one of the most precious gifts of all in May of 2021 my grandson Oliver Thomas!! What a joy grandparenthood is!! I am ready to get back to working outside the home again and am looking forward to meeting new people, learning new things, hearing new stories /personal histories and helping folks stay safely in their homes and as independant as possible.

Hi, I'm Alexandria! My dedication, big heart & thorough work ethic has helped me exceed in my role as a Caregiver over the last 4 years I love being able to connect with the amazing souls I've had the opportunity to work with so far. I grew up going to work with my mom in the nursing home; playing games, telling/listening to stories & building bonds with the residents. Since then, I knew I wanted to continue on that path as an adult. I've been able to help people in so many more ways than my lil brain could've thought! Helping to improve another's quality of life is the most rewarding part of this job for me[?].

It is my belief that all ppl regardless of their need are intitled to the best care possible for a full recovery or in many cases a private transition into their life's end journey...dignity and respect. Being a caregiver is one of life's rewards, those needing care are greatful and I would hope that if I need care someday I would have someone like myself. As far as achievements thus far is helping extended families learn and understand what their loved one may not be able to express to them. Keeping clients on track even if they don't have improvement ...giveing tools to live life out the best way possible with encouragement.
