Colleen’s Bio
I worked as a CNA from 1997-2000, in various nursing homes after taking courses at BSU. I was dissatisfied with the centers care of the elderly, in each center so I began working in private care. I recently worked for an elderly lady that was very sweet. I worked daily and occasionally overnight with her. She was 94 and she peacefully passed away of natural causes 12/30/2012. I cooked, cleaned, supported her medicine, took her occasionally to events and restaurants but mainly served her at home on a daily basis. I worked with a part time RN that also supported her along with Hospice. I would consider working in this capacity again if the situation were closer. I would prefer no more than a 10 mile drive (one way). I had been driving 45 min one way.

Reviews
We hired Colleen to watch our infant four month old daughter and couldn't be happier about our decision. Colleen has many wonderful qualities but for us the most important was her experience with children. Our daughter took to Colleen immediately and never is fussy when we leave her. Colleen is punctual, tentative, trustworthy and flexible. We are very comfortable with her in our home and plan to keep her for years to come.
