Meet The Team

Owner, Carlie Withrow

Scheduler, Susan Brandt

 Susan Brandt moved to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in 1989 from Salt Lake City UT. She loves the area. She has 6 children, and 18 grandchildren. Some of her hobbies are hiking, swimming, reading, painting, cooking, but her greatest joy is spending time with her family. She worked for the phone company in Hood River for 20 years, but when the phone company outsourced the call center, she went back to college and received her Associate Degree in Business Management. When Susan went back to college she also had the privilege of bringing her 92 year old mother from Idaho to live with her. Her mom had dementia, and Susan took care of her for 4 years, until her mom passed away.

While Susan was going to college, a caregiver from Hearts of Gold Caregivers would come and spend time with her mom and they provided excellence care. After Susan graduated from college, she applied to work at Hearts of Gold Caregivers as their scheduler and now also works for them as a part-time caregiver. She really enjoys working with the clients and caregivers.
