Elder Care in Des Moines, Iowa
I'm an
Individual
Hello my name is Amy, I’m a mother of 4, and Grandmother of 6. I’ve been in the nursing field most of my life.
I became a nurses aid at the age of 16 and worked as a CNA until I obtained my LPN degree in 1992. Over the years I worked in several areas utilizing my nursing skills. I was a hospital floor nurse, I worked for 2 specialty clinic Dr’s & a family practice clinic, Traveled the state doing blood draws for the Blood Center of Iowa, In home insurance physicals, flu shot clinics, and pediatric & geriatric home care.
I returned to school and graduated with an Associates degree in Science and Nursing in 2005.
At this same time my maternal grandparents who basically raised me fell ill. My Poppa diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, my Grammy with breast cancer. Both their health deteriorated rather quickly at first. The Dr’s were wanting to put them both into a nursing home within the first year. There was no way I was allowing that when I was perfectly capable of taking care of them myself, and so I did.
They have both past on, I never returned to my nursing career. I’ve been Grandma & babysitter and a homemaker.
Lately I’ve felt the urge as if something is calling me back. I’m posting on here, because I know everything happens for a reason.
I’m here, I care, and you found me.
