About Maddie

My passion for aging started as a young child. My mother, a life long caregiver for older adults would frequently bring me to her client's homes and I learned how to engage with older adults. She taught me how to be patient and provide above and beyond care. My first job was working as a resident aide in an assisted living facility and have worked as a caregiver on and off while going to college and starting my professional career. In Minnesota I gained Certified Nurse's Assistant accreditation and I am currently getting a master's certificate in Innovations in Aging. I have experience with Dementia, People living with Disabilities, Medicine Management, Transfers, Meal Preparation, Adaptive Exercise, Errands/Appointments, and Activities and Engagement. My caregiving style is informed by providing choice and autonomy to the clients I work with. I am committed to provide the best care possible for my clients because I envision the same quality of care for myself when I am older.
