About Colleen
Experience: 3 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My passion is helping others. I am reliable, compassionate and kind. I enjoy creating conversation with seniors and simply brightening their day. I started caring for seniors when I retired from my 30 year teaching career. Upon retiring I worked as a Patient Care Assistant /Nurse Aide in a rehab hospital for 2 years. I assisted the nursing staff and therapists with a variety of different tasks. Tasks included ambulating patients from bed /chair to bathroom, taking vital signs, bathing and dressing individuals. Currently, I care for a number of individuals each having different needs. I enjoy creating conversation and making them feel valued, important and loved. I have experience caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease. I provide appropriate activities that include transportation to the local senior center, bowling, out for ice cream or a walk in the park. I assist in baking cookies, playing card games, cooking, cleaning and putting puzzles together.

Colleen is an absolute blessing. She always is helpful, kind, and compassionate when dealing with the stressors of dementia. I loved that she kept my loved one engaged in various activities and always made my loved one feel safe, comfortable, and a priority. Colleen is a calming presence, which is incredibly important in dementia care. Colleen is an absolute joy and our family is blessed to have her in our lives.
