I became a caregiver because I love taking care of the elderly, I enjoy seeing them smile upon my arrival. I feel the elderly need a little more love and patience and I have plenty of that to give. I am very much engaged in making sure their surroundings are safe and clear of clutter and also I try and get them involved in crafting, small projects ideas so they feel productive. I also have Medical Assisting background although not certified. I am mostly proud of the fact that a little love and understanding can move mountains. I cook, clean, organize. I do grocery shopping, doctors visits. I also do laundry and once I walk through the doors it's my home so it will be cared for.
