Hello, I am a certified nursing assistant with 11 years of experience. My experience is diverse with a combination of hospital, home health and long-term care. In 2021, I was inspired to start a business in home health care after the passing of my grandmother who had Alzheimer's disease. I pride myself in working hard and am compassionate, nurturing, and very efficient with my work. I have extensive expertise with caring for patients with Alzheimer's and Dementia. Other skills include but are not limited to; wound care, diabetes, trach care, physical therapy, vitals, blood sugar monitoring and comfort massages. I have a passion for the work that I do and would be honored if you choose me to help care for your family. Communication is vital in our business and I am never offended and welcome any and all feedback to make our working relationship strong and long lasting.
