About Colleen

Experience: 1 yr

I'd describe my personality as effervescent, non-judgmental, empathetic I like caring for seniors because it feels like meaningful, human work. There's something really special about slowing down, listening, and being present with someone who has lived a full life. I enjoy bringing comfort, companionship, and a sense of ease into their day. I'm looking for a job that allows me to make a real difference in someone's daily life while building a meaningful connection. I started caring for seniors when I had an elderly neighbor in high school. In my spare time I like to read, go to the gym, listen to music, go to coffee shops, shop, spend time with friends One thing you should know about me is I am kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I have a passion for helping others who are currently unable to currently help themselves. I am chatty and like to be interactive. My skills include patience, effective communication and being interactive.
