Experience & Education

Caretaker

Feb 2015 - Dec 2016
Self Employed
Full time caretaker for my husband of 23 years. He already had Lupus and severe COPD when he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer that metastasized to the brain. He chose to fight with the strongest treatments available. This led to months of serious care. The treatment collapsed his windpipe and I faced many obstacles keeping his oxygen number up. I carried him on breathing machines, by car to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. We were on our way to the Mayo Clinic in Michigan when Cleveland Clinic said they could fix him, and they did. Many more months of round the clock care before the cancer took over with a vengeance. He went to be with Jesus Christmas Day 2016.

Hello ya'll! My name is Genell. As a child growing up I have always had a servants heart [?] I get that from my grandmother! I have over 10+ years experience in working with the elderly. From assisted living, Home Healthcare, memory care (dementia and Alzheimer's), and nursing home. I'm not CNA certified but I pretty much can do everything a CNA does. My goal is to evenually get CNA certified and get a carrer in the medical field. As a child I always had a passion for helping others anyway I could. As I got older I began working with the elderly! I that I am able to help someone in need that can't so it from themselves anymore. We all get up in age and eventually and are going to need some kind of help. That's why we have people like me to come in and lend a helping hand. Who treat your loved ones with respect and dignity. I'm always willing to help assist in anyway I could
