About Kelly

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'd describe my personality as loyal, calming, caring I like caring for seniors because I have worked as an social worker in nursing homes for 25 years. I have found that with attention, listening skills and encouragement many seniors see an improvement in quality of life. Many folks are uncomfortable with aging folks- but I find them to be soulful- with many stories to tell. I'm looking for a job that I will Improve someone's quality life I started caring for seniors when I was 22. I have a degree in psychology and have worked many years as a geriatric social worker. I have had a mother and father pass from Alzheimer's- and I cared for them at home. Our seniors deserve dignity and comfort. In my spare time, I like to pet therapy at a local nursing home. One thing you should know about me is My skills include I respect the aging process and treat folks with dignity. I provide age appropriate activities I am an advocate for seniors.
