I am an experienced and compassionate caregiver who loves working with children and adults. I have a degree in physical therapy and I have worked for 20 plus years in different healthcare settings. Most recently I worked in a skilled nursing facility and also with chronic pain patients. I am a mother of 3 adult children and I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with them while they were growing up. I have experience working as a librarian in a private grade school and enjoyed the students and getting them excited about reading. I also coordinated vacation bible school at my church for over 5 years with my main focus on craft projects. I plan on getting re-certified in first aid and CPR. I am at a point where I need a change in my career path and would truly enjoy working directly with children, special needs children and adults and the elderly. I recently babysat for a 6mo old child and loved it! I am very dedicated, responsible, loving, nurturing, understanding, and patient. I would embrace the opportunity to care for your loved one with compassion and respect.
