Bernadette Johnson has been a caregiver with Family & Nursing Care Select for a year-and-a-half, but her caregiving career spans over 25 years. With experience working in hospitals, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, hospice, and pediatric care, Bernadette brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every client she serves.
For Bernadette, caregiving is more than just meeting clients’ physical needs — it’s about bringing joy and companionship to those who may feel alone. She cherishes the moments when she can brighten a client’s day, especially when family members aren’t able to be present.
Bernadette’s advice to fellow caregivers is a testament to her gentle nature. She believes in always being kind even if you’re having a challenging day, especially since sometimes caregivers are the closest thing to family clients have. Above all, she strives to keep her clients happy and smiling.
Beyond her work, Bernadette loves making gift baskets, knitting socks and hats, playing bingo, cooking, and listening to music. She is a proud mother of three and a devoted grandmother to nine grandchildren. Her passion for caregiving extends beyond her clients — family and being active in the community are at the heart of everything she does.
