What I'm looking for

I'm looking to leverage my childcare, communication, direct care, and activity-program experience to support diverse populations and enhance residents' quality of life.

I provide direct care at Patriot Home Care, supporting patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s through bathing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and entertainment that keeps residents happy and busy.

At Lebanon Skilled Nursing and Rehab, I collaborated on creative activity programs, organized themed parties, and completed physical and mental health assessments with accurate medical-record documentation. I’ve also planned and conducted activities at Luthercare that encourage socialization, relaxation, fulfillment, and daily living skills for residents with varying cognitive and physical abilities.

I bring patient care, geriatric support, childcare experience, communication, and relationship-building skills to serving diverse populations.
