About Wendy

I am kind and compassionate. I think of loving your neighbor as yourself and how would I want to be treated as a person and especially as an elderly person. I started early in life being a caregiver with becoming a CNA in three different states and then later in life after raising my children I went back to college and got my degree at UNCG. I went back into the field of caregiving because it is very fulfilling and somewhat flexible especially when you have three children in school and having many sports between them. I've had many different clients with different illnesses and disabilities over the almost twenty years all together that I've been in the profession of caregiving for the elderly. I've not only enjoyed it but find it very fulfilling when caring for my clients and developing a relationship with them.

I have worked with this client for more than five years. She has had a lot of arthritis, dementia and CHF. I have helped her with safety, meds, meals and many errands. I have been staying overnight with her now for three years. I have enjoyed being with her but we are moving to Va so I need something closer to home.

I am a kind, caring, patient, understanding and very loving person. I became a caregiver to my mother about 20 years ago. She had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis which eventually crippled her. I supported her with very many of her daily living needs. Which I enjoyed doing ...so I decided that I would do it for a living. Being a caregiver for me is very rewarding. I enjoy helping people and seeing them achieve the independence that they are seeking. I lost my mother at the end of 2019 but being her caregiver for so many years allowed me to spend a lot of time with her. Now I enjoying caring for others.

Iam a caring caregiver and I do have compassion for the elderly. What attracted me to being a caregiver I enjoying helping people I have worked as a CNA for 5 years. I also had to take care of my mother for awhile. My personal achievement that I was proud of I was glad that I took the CNA course I learned so much with hands on and real situations working with elderly clients
