I am a natural nurturing person. I I decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. I had a grandmother that suffered from Alzheimer's disease for 13 years. Majority of the time that she was sick I cared for her. I always knew I needed to get into the health field because I saw how important it is to have a support system. When you have someone in your family who can no longer take care of themselves it seems to have a ripple effect with everyone surrounding them. At some point we could no longer take care of my grandmother in the house so we had to hire a home health aide and in doing so I really grew to appreciate the nature of the job. You become an extended family member you grow great bonds with your clients or patients and their familes. I love being an aide.

I'm a kind hardworking person. I used to take care of my grandmother and that made me want to take care of other people. I like getting to meet new people and building bonds. My proudest achievement is walking across that stage to start a new chapter in my life. I love caring for people it's a passion.

I think I'm a good fit for this job not only because I'm a great worker , but I love being in this field helping others. I love the drive it gives me and making others feel good. I'm a great worker and always ready to come to work to learn and improve everyday .

Hello My name is Quaneshia, I go by Q. I am a people person. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you and your loved one. My passion for people has always put me in a giving position, my desire to want to help has lead me to becoming a Sincere Caregiver to help the elderly was the perfect choice for me. Being a caregiver is a job I take very seriously. I have worked with clients in all types of areas. Alheimers,Paraplegic, G-tube even gave administered First-aid & CPR. As your loved ones caregiver i promise to put their needs first and inform you with any concerns or updates ever step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and my future client.

I enjoy helping others, and I very much love senior citizens. I strive to be of assistance to anyone who is an elderly person. If I'm out in public, I try to move fast in the event a door needs held or assistance is needed. It's the right thing to do. I served 4 years in the military, and I also went to college for 2 different degrees. I've learned a great deal in the midst of medical expertise. I have also been trained in many different emergency services.

I am very compassionate and empathetic with excellent communication skills. I grew up with so much love and attention especially from my grand parents so when when my grandmother became ill with dementia it was a great honour to have the pleasure of taking care of her. Because I know who she was before the illness I could provide her all the love, respect and understanding she deserved. Continuing to care for my grand father after my grand mother died made me realize I wanted to build a career in care giving. Every day I have spent giving care has been indescribable blessing and inestimable pleasure. Learning from the wealth of experience of my Clients when we talk and seeing the world through their eyes is prizeless. Aging is inevitable to all and the least the younger ones can do is to show and give the older ones all the respect, care, tender love, attention and most importantly, revive their self-esteem.

Passionate about quality and caring home care for those in need and desiring to remain in familiar surroundings during their golden years. I am an active semi retired caregiver. It has been said that I can work circles around those half my age. My background is that of a dedicated, hard worker that was taught how to be proficient yet caring in a time when a bedside manner was important. I started out as an aide and was taught and expected to manage in home care that today requires a two + year degree. I currently care for a gentleman during the week, part-time with dementia. After giving a two week notice my start date is flexible but I am available immediately for weekend position. I am an amateur chef. My passion is first and foremost my family. I am interested in genealogy, history, reading, journaling, gardening and non-political current events. I can hold an intelligent conversation and I am an excellent listener. I cared for my mother in home during the last six of her 94 years. She suffered with dementia, diabetes (insulin dependent), arthritis, incontinence and mobility issues. She wanted to spend her last days in her own home for which I am very thankful I was able to be instrumental in granting her wish. I have spent 30+ years, off and on, in the health care industry in positions of nurse aide and home health care aide. I have hospice experience. I value life and respect end of life wishes. I hope that as I age that I will have someone who will show me the same respect, care, empathy and loving commitment to my care as I provide to my patients.
