I'm very patient and out going. I treat my clients like they were family. I want the best for them. I like to communicate and get to know them. I like to make them feel comfortable with me. I took care of my dad for 2 yrs who was ill with dementia, alzheimers, chromes and diabetes. He has recently passed in july 2019. I knew by taking care of him, it was my calling to be a caregiver because I want to take care of people that need help. I love being a caregiver and knowing at the end of the day that I have helped someone and made there day happy and at ease. Meeting new people. Knowing that I have done a good deed. I love working with clients and they tell me how much they appreciate me and thank me very much for being there and helping them. That just melts my heart to hear those words. Because I know that I have done my job to there standards. I have a client who is deaf. She was eating breakfast that a friend made for her and she started choking. I immediately started the procedure to dislodged whatever she was choking in. I couldn't get it dislodged so I called 911. Later I got a call from my company that she called them and wanted to let them know that I saved her life and was very thankful for me. For that I received an angel pin for saving her life
