I was born and raised in Montana. I grew up in Harlowton. That is where I got my CNA certification when I was 17 years old. I continued working as a cna after high school with a temp agency named Prioricare Staffing solutions. I worked all over the state in nursing homes, it ended up taking me to Ennis Montana. I lived in Ennis for 15 years and worked 8 years at to the  Madison Valley Manor while continuing traveling part time. Four years ago I moved to Bozeman where I started working for two home health companies, Advocare and First Choice Home Heathcare.

     In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my 2 dogs Gema a 10 year old pit/mix and Chance an 11 your old Papillon. Whether its going to snowfill dog park or taking a hike in the surounding mountains. Floating the Madison is always a great time with friends and family.

My name is Cailynn Bartlett and I’m originally from Great Falls, MT but I moved here to Bozeman for school.

I enjoy building bonds with clients and getting to know them more and more each visit. My goal is to deliver the best caregiver experience by maintaining a clean and safe environment, picking up and cooking healthy meals, and creating new friendships all while keeping the client feeling worthy, independent, happy, and loved.

Hello, my name is Grace and I am a senior at MSU studying microbiology on the path to becoming a Physicians Associate! I knew my purpose in life was to provide care and comfort to those through healthcare during a medical missions trip to Haiti, and my determination is fueled by my faith, friends and family. I have provided patient care in third world countries, pre-hospital emergency settings and to those who have disabilities or need extra assistance, no matter what that may entail. Whatever the environment, my #1 goal is to ensure that those I come in contact with feel important and empowered, and to impact their lives in the greatest way that I can.
I joined AdvoCare because after working in an assisted living facility for a year, I quickly learned I was unable to spend quality time with those I was seeing throughout my shift. I missed the companionship and ability to listen, learn and help without time constraints. I am looking forward to the ability to focus on each client as an individual through this position.
