My name is Jennifer and The Lord laid on my heart approximately 1 1/2 years that I should become a caregiver/companion. My best friends mother is 82 years old, still lives in her own home and is now beginning to need some extra hands in order to do so, which makes her day a little brighter and allows for her to remain living in her home. She is a very important part of my life and has been for over 25 years. I know how important it is for her to be able to remain as independent as possible and be home. Without the help she receives weekly from in home care providers, this wouldn't be possible. She gets the extra help she needs and doesn't have to feel she is being a burden (as she puts it) on friends and family. I see how it makes such a huge difference in her life and i would like to be that person that can do the same for others. I try and visit with her weekly to check in on her as well as to chit chat and have done so for several years. I recently made a complete career change and went from a life of numbers and customer service, to the health care field. I just successfully completed the Certified Nursing Assistant Program through Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh, WI. and am in the process of scheduling my State Testing in order to become certified and added top the board of nursing. I am a very caring and compassionate person that also has a sense of humor and believes that a smile goes a long way!!
