I was a caregiver for 4 years before I found No Worries. I started working at No Worries and after a year knew this was the company I wanted my career with. I love caregiving but have always been drawn to the administrative side of things. In 2017, I came into the office to discuss my hopes of becoming an accountant and after just a few classes they took me in and started training me to become the bookkeeper. In 2019, I was given the opportunity to also become the Office Manager and I said YES! I loved being able to have more interactions with our clients and caregivers in the Office Manager role. Then, in 2021 I was offered to start training for the role of Assistant Administrator and have learned so much about our client services and Oregon Administrative Rules and the whys of how we do everything! As of 2023, I have completed my 2 years of Assistant Administrator training. No Worries is a company that truly cares about their caregivers and clients, and it is an honor to work here.

In September 2021 I found out I was pregnant. I was so excited to announce it to everyone. My co-workers were all SO supportive! In May 2022 I had my baby boy, RJ. While I was on maternity leave the other admin staff set up an entire nursery in the office for me as childcare can be so expensive and with it being my first baby, I really didn’t want to put him into childcare. I came back to a rocking chair, soft rug, pack and play (with changing station and bassinet attachments), dimmable light, baby monitor, and a swing with a mobile attached. It has been such a blessing to be able to bring him into the office with me when needed. He has ranged being here 1-3 days a week depending on current circumstances. My co-workers quickly become his Aunties and we are so fortunate to have so much support personally and professionally. He is the sweetest little boy and the absolute light of my life!

I became a nurse in 2018, following a desire to be a voice of calm in the face of uncertainty. At the height of the COVID pandemic, I started a job in a skilled nursing facility and did just that – though that voice was muffled behind a mask and face shield for the two years that followed. Those years were tough, with policies ever-changing, nasal swabs frequent and twelve hour shifts never long enough to get everything done. Today, I am excited to be working at No Worries, where client care is detailed and thoughtful, and there is always time to cater to each individual’s needs. Small businesses always seem to settle in my heart.

Outside of my role at No Worries, I am on-call for a local birth center where the same values for personalized, holistic care hold weight. I have a deep passion for Women’s Health, another facet of nursing where patient education and that voice of calm is so important. I feel a personal sense of purpose when caring for people in emotionally dense situations such as beginning and end-of-life. Studying herbs and nutrition allows me to broaden this practice.

When I am not caring for others, I care for myself by opting outside – gardening, camping, reading by the river, etc. My partner loves to fish the coastal rivers and we camp as often as we can while the weather agrees!

I too was a late arrival to the field of nursing. After an initial career in clinical research, I entered nursing school in 2019. During nursing school, I quickly realized that my classmates and I had very different ambitions: while my classmates planned their hospital nursing careers, I actively sought careers options outside of the hospital. I had previously worked as a caregiver for a young man with severe cerebral palsy who, because of home health care, had an amazing life. Because of this experience, I realized I was destined to become a home health nurse. Prior to joining No Worries Care, I worked as a home health nurse with medically fragile pediatric and young adult patients. I am excited to share my passion for providing high quality care to No Worries’ clients in the comfort of their homes.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, lounging in the sun with my cat Maxx, gardening, buying far too many plants and flowers, picking up every pretty rock I see, and sharing silly memes with friends and family.

I like to say I was born into caregiving. I grew up in a family of doctors, nurses, and holistic health practitioners. It was no surprise to anyone that I became a CNA in high school. I come to No Worries with almost 15 years of caregiving experience in a variety of health care settings from psych, acute and post-acute facilities, hospice and memory care. I began caregiving in memory care, so it will always have a special place in my heart. I am very excited to transition into my role as Client Services Coordinator and be a part of the process in assisting families to establish care for their loved ones. When I’m not at work I like to spend my time out on the trails with my husband and my pup, either hiking or ripping it up on our dirt bikes.
