Kelly’s Bio
I’m Kelly, a 25 year old free spirit who just moved to San Diego. I’m looking to jump into work, so I’m going with what I know and love best - working with people!
My grandma was my absolute best friend. She took care of me growing up, and I took care of her when Alzheimer’s overcame her ability to be independent. It was extremely difficult watching my role model struggle, but through it, I learned a lot. I learned that when someone seems ‘gone’ - they’ve acquired the inability to communicate, eat, walk, etc. - they’re still there. You can always reach someone’s humanness even when it doesn’t seem possible. (I’ve also learned this working with individuals who sustained traumatic brain injury.) My point to this is, I’ve learned to be attuned to individual needs even when they aren’t clearly expressed. I’ve learned empathy on a new level. I’ve learned to be creative in my attempts at making people smile.
I’ve also worked for a care companion company called Touching Hearts, where I had multiple clients I had the pleasure of taking care of - whether it be cooking meals, running errands, attending appointments, cleaning, or simply spending time enjoying each other’s company - it was one of my favorite jobs.
The majority of my background consists of working with children and adults with special needs. I have a BS degree in speech pathology, most of my coursework involving child development. But I’ve always loved working with people of all ages and abilities, and of course, have a soft spot in my heart for grandmas. 💜
