About Nicole

I am a military spouse and mother of four. I am passionate about healthcare, as I have continued pursuing my career in the field even during military moves. I love helping people and knowing that I am making a difference. I am currently going to school and am on the pathway to get my nursing degree. I am dedicated and detail-oriented with 8+ years of patient-focused care. I have an established record of reliability and creating positive rapport with patients, family, and staff. I provide exceptional personal care skills while working closely with patients to provide top-notch personal care. I am patient, friendly, and highly compassionate, with excellent interpersonal communication skills. I am discreet and confidential in all dealings with patients and staff.

Experience caregiver having over 10 years working with various clients. I guess you could say my life could be encapsulated in four simple words faith, family, friends, and helping others! I have worked in Home Health both in nursing homes as well as memory care facilities for over 10 years. I love helping people, I also feel that in some ways this is my ministry even though it is my part-time job. I have experience in memory care, ADL's, transfer assist, gait training, lighthouse keeping, meal prep, companionship, and bathing and grooming, I have dependable transportation and arrive to work on time and don't miss days unless I am ill. I am normally very healthy, and I insist on cleanliness and am constantly washing my hands. I would like to think I am extremely cautious in keeping both myself safe as well as you. I've had extensive training in HIPAA and sanitation. After retiring from Health and Human Services caregiving became my passion. I'm a very conscientious and hard worker and yet I still remain cheerful throughout the day. I also am a Certified Activities Director so I feel like I bring a little more than just caregiving. I believe that seniors need daily activities to stay happy and healthy and if possible to be a part of their day-to-day activities and have a purpose. If the senior is capable and able to water plants or assist with meal prep I encourage that. Well read this and hopefully you and your family can decide if I would be a good fit for you and if so please get in contact with me I look forward to meeting you and it would be my pleasure to assist you in any way I can. Wishing continuous success in your journey be safe and stay well!

What makes me a great caregiver is having a passion in helping others in any way I can. What I like about being a caregiver is being able to make a difference and an impact in someone's life. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is the ability to make someone else smile and simply being able to give them a hand in any possible way I may be able to. My personal achievement is to be able to make a difference in someone's life with whatever it is they may be struggling with. The ability to help someone grow or feel better as a whole, or simply be able to make some kind of impact or difference in their life.
