I'm an educated, trusting, fun loving person who is looking for a house sitting job or some type care giving position. I'm a Licensed EMT ( Emergency Medical Tech ). I started out 25 years ago as a CNA and I went to class at Pioneer Hospital in a very small town called Meeker, Colorado. From there, I started and completed my MA (Medical Assistance I ) at Parks College, in Denver Colorado. then went on to complete my EMT1-EMT2- to finish as a EMT3 at Denver General Hospital in Denver Colorado. I completed my internship there and while doing so, I volunteered at Denver's VA Hospital in the Alzheimer's Unit. About 6 years later, I started my own Home Healthcare in Riffle, Colorado. I specialized in the care of Alzheimer's patients and Adult Special Needs. Even though I now reside in Sacramento, CA. All my certificates and my license are all transferred and up to date here in the state of California. I've was born and raised here in Orville, CA. I just went to Colorado for over 10 years to go college. Still today my father swears I was going to retire from college instead of graduate. When I was finished, I then returned home back to California. I'm 40 years old with 2 grown children; 1 is 20 and the other is 18. and 15 months ago my 20-year-old son made me a grandmother for the first time. I have a very beautiful granddaughter that I just cant seem to get enough of. I love children and I love caring for the elderly and adults with special needs.
