Colleen’s Bio
I have been interested in healthcare since being a young girl due to a few family members being in the medical field. I would go with my mother,& grandmother to take your daughter to work day at the hospital. I took health careers at the high school. After those I started working as a NA/MT. Certified nursing assistant classes became available a few years later at Golden Living Center so I took the 6 week class & graduated then worked at the facility. In between time I was employed by Americare plus providing in home care. I have always had a passion to provide care and work closely with the elderly. I treat them as they are my own grandparents. I have worked with dementia as well as Alzheimer's patients. I have experience In all aspects of the nursing assistant field as well as medication management. If you are needing assistance with a loved one I'd be more than happy to provide loving care whether it be temporary, or permanent. Thank you.
