I'm Erick and have been in the caregiving profession for more than 6 years. I started with an RCFE setting and eventually leveling up to giving 1 on 1 personal care. During the duration of my 1 on 1 personal aid/caregiver, I was tasked to do housework duties, drive for my client, do groceries and doctors appointments. Maintain cleanliness in the house and most importantly, performing my primary duty as a caregiver. Growing up in a culture of having close family ties, it just give me the joy of taking care of elderly people. I lost my mother 7 years ago just when I was having a good relationship with her. I wasn't able to tell her how much I love her or care for her during her time of illness. I made a promise that it will be my goal to help in any possible way I can to be of service to anyone who needs help. It wasn't easy but the smiles I see on my clients face just melts my heart knowing that I've helped them go through the day and look forward for tomorrow. My personal achievement would be seeing my client's smile and let them feel that they are not alone.
