I am 32 years old and I have worked in the medical field for the last decade+. I have 3 children, so outside of being a single mother, I work. And I enjoy my "people" that I take care of. I have training for MOPI/ ETL/CPR& First Aid/Mat certified.

I have always been a caregiver and it is something that comes naturally. I've taken care of my sister for many years, she was a quadriplegic. I've also been a paraprofessional to children and worked as an RN for 17 yrs. in the areas of LTC/Rehab., home health, and Hospice care.

I have been told that I am a great encourager. With being a caregiver, sometimes, all it takes is a little encouragement, to go a long way. My attraction to wanting to become a caregiver, goes way back to when I was 9 years old. I was adopted by older parents (58 and 63). As I grew older, at age 12, I became interested in visiting an elderly neighbor. I would ride my bike to her house just because of her cool stories of her childhood, (and she provided cookies.) Little did I know, that my attraction to being a caregiver was already in the making of who I was meant to be as an adult. She even sent me a card in the mail and it stated I was her "favorite person." That meant SO MUCH to me! The only thing I can think of about something I'm proud of achieving would be when I worked in Customer Care at a gym, and the owners gave me a "Loving People Award." Other than that, just the simple fact that my two children have grown up to become upstanding, fine adults and are parents, themselves. So watching them figure things out as adults, makes me feel so proud of them.

My personal experience was helping family members when they got sick and could not do things on there own. I always loved helping people out regardless if they was young old sick healthy I love seeing people smile. Being able to make someone's day just a little better. Personal achievements would be that I learned how to drain a catheter and learning different ways to help someone because not everyone can move or do the same things.

I love to see their smile when we do something for people. I like to make them feel happy.

I have been a caregiver for over 20 years! It's a passion and always enjoy it so much, it's much more than a job, I love getting to know all my clients with sweet conversations and hearing some of the most interesting stories and bringing smiles .

I've always loved taking care of my elders! I took care of my grandmother for 2 years in 2008-2010, because my grandmother started having strokes after she got done with chemotherapy and radiation. I helped my grandmother to roll over to get comfortable, helped her get on the commode, helped her sit on the side of the bed, helped her to get drinks and fed her. My grandmother died in Feb 2010 due to a massive stroke. That's why I got my CNA because I absolutely loved it when I took care of my grandmother. I have a big heart to love and take care of my elderly clients. I'm very compassionate, very out going, very caring, and very respectful to everyone, and I get along great with other people.
