Please don't waste my time. I love what I do and am very good at it, I have plenty of experience and can get anything for my patients. So, when people waste my time it takes away from my patients.

I care about everybody, and try too help out as many people as possible. It brings a smile too my face when I see others smile, and i know I'm doing everything I can too make that person comfortable and happy. What I really love about being a caregiver is the conversations I have with the elderly. Hearing about their life, and diffrent expirences they went through sometimes are life changing. Just getting too know them and knowing I'm helping someone makes me happy. One of the achievements I'm proud of is passing my TNA classes & getting a certificate. That made my day.

I am a loving and caring person and I love helping others. I love my job and what it allows me to do for others. I have been on the receiving end of having a loved one get very sick and bounce back and forth from nursing home to hospital so I know all too well not just the physical but the emotional strain that situations like these can have for people and family's. This is why I try my best to help the best I can in any situation. I choose to get into this line of work because unfortunately I had to see first hand with a loved one that not everyone is properly taken care of or even cared about in these situations and that is just awful and unfair. When my loved one passed away I vowed to make a difference, even if its just one person or a small few its better then none or just doing nothing.

Hi. My name is Kim. I've been a licensed LPN for over 20 years. I absolutely love what I do! I have always loved being around seniors. I was even a Candy stripper long ago. I'd say what makes me good at what I do is I'm an excellent listener, have deep empathy for those I care for and their families and I am very responsible. When I am tasked with taking of someone I take that as a privilege.A privilege to be part of their lives. I have been the Director of an Assisted Living for the last five years in Maryland. I loved my facility and the residents who lived there. I relocated to PA A few months ago because my husband is an Army Officer who is retiring in June. Please contact me with any questions and let's see if I can help with whatever your needs may be..

For years in my childhood to my early teen years I helped to take care of my grandmother who raised me. Taking care of her has made me more open to doing this as a career. I am looking to get my CNA license in the nearby future and I feel in-home care will be great experience for jobs I may seek to pursue in the future. I believe I am very reliable and trustworthy and always looking to learn new things and meet new people. Several of my family members I grew up around have jobs in health care. For example, I went to work with my aunt in a assisted living facility when I was younger and made friends with the elderly.

One of my personality traits is when someone has compassion for another they have an understanding of what the person is going through.
