Experience: 4 yrs
I was raised by my grandmother, and had the unique privilege of being brought up in the senior community. My first experiences with senior care were through my church and helping family friends, and they led me to also pursue working with special needs children and pets in need. Every generation has their view of the world, and a set of experiences that are both uniquely theirs and universal to us all. Once they are gone, the knowledge goes with them. Every time we interact, we save a small part of their experience for the future. My life has provided me with many of those opportunities, and I want that to continue. I am now a New York State certified Critical Care EMT with ACLS, and a volunteer ambulance provider. I treat people for illnesses and injuries every day, and see them at their best and their worst. I want to see more seniors live full, happy lives, and help ensure they get the care they need and deserve, and continue to take continue education courses in geriatrics and special populations to help provide the best care possible. My references are available upon request, and you are welcome to speak with my volunteer ambulance agency as well.
