About Charlene

I'd describe my personality as compassionate, honest, flexible. I like caring for seniors because they are people with important relationships and stories who deserve dignity and respect for who they are. I'm looking for a job that offers care to others while offering me flexibility in other aspects of my life responsibilities. I started caring for seniors when I was in high school, working at a nursing home. In my spare time, I like to read, quilt, garden, host guests, listen to music, write, take long walks. One thing you should know about me is I come from a large midwestern rural family, have lived in multiple states/cities and economic settings, have chosen careers that include holistic caregiving opportunities. My skills include experience caring for my mother in law and step mother at the end of their lives, working as a hospice chaplain, a member of a palliative care team for 8 years.
