Vanessa (Nessa) joins the Compassionate Home Care Team as a CNA. She began taking care of her grandmother ten years ago, and after her grandmother passed away in 2010, she began working as a nanny caring for a disabled three-year-old boy. When the boy went to kindergarten, Vanessa realized how much she loved helping people, and she decided she become a CNA. After receiving her CNA certification, she accepted a job working at Guardian Angels Assisted Living Facility, which she loved. Eventually, Vanessa was offered a position working for a home healthcare agency, and she jumped at the opportunity to work with people one-on-one. Vanessa’s passion is helping people, and she truly loves being a CNA. Vanessa sees herself doing this job for many years as she enjoys helping people who have a difficulty completing their activities of daily living on their own. Vanessa is loving, caring, honest, respectful, positive, and dependable. She treats her clients as if they were her own family members -- with respect, love, and compassion; she is always willing to go above and beyond to make her clients feel happy and comfortable. In her spare time, Vanessa enjoys spending time with family, camping, riding and working with horses, four wheeling, fishing, boating, having bonfires, watching movies, attending rodeos, going to parks, and shopping. Her favorite movies include anything with romance, comedy, or movies for the family. Vanessa is engaged and has two children, a five-year old and a baby.  Vanessa is looking forward to working with Compassionate Home Care and developing relationships with her clients.
