Getting to know the Northwood Staff Northwood Homecare: Introducing Kelly Baker

Hello, my name is Kelly Baker and I am entering my 27th year as a CCA. I started my healthcare journey in 1996 at Dartmouth Community Homemakers Association and from there joined the Northwood Homecare team! 27 years of following my passion has truly been such an honour for me. Being part of the Northwood team has been a very fulfilling experience, allowing me to care for our seniors and people in need. Taking care of others has always been part of who I am, as my mom often shares memories of me as a very young child, always wanting to lend a helping hand to whomever I could. The best part of my career with Northwood is I am part of a team that allows me to make a difference every day with each client I visit. Their smiles, stories, advice, and gratefulness truly warms my heart!

From starting my journey at 22 years of age until now, I have always made a point to follow my selfgiven advice: Always treat others as I would want to be treated, treat everyone as though they are your own mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, child or friend and you will always succeed. The rapport I have with my clients and their families is a true reflection of this.

Thank you to Northwood for allowing me to be part of this journey and this wonderful team of people. I am looking forward to many more years with Northwood and what my future here holds!

Our supervisors are always there to put ours and the client’s needs first, they are easy to communicate with and always kind, supervisors like that are hard to find! – Miranda
