About Heather

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been a nurse for 10+ years and most of my work has been with elderly, pediatric, and special needs families. I myself have a grandfather who is 100 years old, and want nothing but the best for him. I may not be able to help care for him (since he is out of state with my parents) but I can help care for your loved ones. I can be a helping hand with light stuff like cooking, laundry, driving to appointments and shopping, or I can be all hands on deck while providing assistance with hygiene needs, dispense medications, dress wounds, and more. Side note: I do love animals. I am sorry to say, I am severely allergic to cats. This does not allow me to work in homes that are cat friendly, I apologize ahead of time.

Heather assisted in my husbands care for about a year and a half. Her caring nature, sense of humor, ability to problem solve issues was amazing during a difficult time. Heather is a dependable trustworthy person who give quality care-giving. My husband needs were great, and she exceeded all of them. Her experience with my husband included, hoyer use, peg tube care and feeds, occupational therapy, cognitive assistance, skin integrity, bathing, shaving and all personal care. Her personality is loving, warm and positive with humor even during the most challenging times. Forever grateful for the care of my husband.
