Hello, I would like to tell you a little about myself. I have been a caregiver for over 20 years. Taking care of the elderly is very much a passion of mine and it's my happy place other than the birth my of two boys, at the given moment in time I am doing what I love and that's is helping my individual with his or her needs that have become difficult due to age and or illness. Here is a little bit about what all I have done in the past 20 years that has to do with this field. I worked with hospice, I have been a medication aid, phlebotomy in a dialysis center. Physical therapist tech III at Abilene State School. Working at the State School was something totally out of my comfort zone but was so worth every minute spent there the knowledge I soaked in really enhanced my ability working with Alzheimer's and dementia individuals. So as you have read I wear many hates. There was a time when I thought about taking it to the next level and going to nursing school but as I got older and from working nurses are very important but there is less hand on with the individual and I am all about hands on and taking care of my individual at the time. My greatest achievement are my kids they keep me grounded and focused. My attraction to this field comes from my mom. She started out as a caregiver but went back to school and became a nurse. So you see this field has been in my blood for a very long time and it's my heart it's just who I am and what I love. I am new to the Carelinx family but know this line of work deep in my soul, take a chance on me so you can see for yourself. Thank you
