I'm a great caregiver because I love my clients like family. The reason for me becoming a caregiver was to help elderly, I cared for my grandma for years before her passing, most elderly ladies remind me of her and it makes me smile . The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the joy that some clients have , just having someone there to care for them brings joy. I know it's not always easy to have a job + family and care for your elderly parents . I'm here to help

I'm a great caregiver because I look as the patients as if they are my own family. I will never do anything to harm them. I'm always there to help in any possible.

What I enjoy is seeing my patients happy & thriving . Getting my high school diploma & CNA license in the same month.

Hello! My name is LaTonya Williams I have over 15 years of experience caring for the elderly as well as people with disabilities. I have enjoyed caring for the elderly. I enjoy their conversations. My most personal achievement is the smile and thank you I receive from my clients. That let's me know that I am doing my job well and my client is satisfied with my work.

I have always been a compassionate person to others, helping where I can, assisting my elderly neighbors as I was growing up, but never realizing it was a name for this and it's called Caregiving. I became a Private Duty Caregiver after a family member became very sick, and there was no one who was willing to assist her. I liked the idea of helping her, meal prepping, making sure she had what she needed to function on day to day basis. Even when she had to go into a facility I was there for her until the very end. I like knowing that I am bringing a smile or some form of hope to a person's day. My personality is like no other, whatever it takes to offer a glimmer of hope ie dancing, singing, reading, preparing a meal with love or simply something simple as taking an interest in them and learning who they are, or who they were brings me joy as well as them. I love listening to their stories I refer to some of my clients as "Living History". I am a mother to 2 college graduates. When I saw my daughter walk across the stage to get her Master's I realized I gave both my children all that I had in me as a single mom. My Greatest Achievement was going back to school and obtaining an AA in Human Services. I was given up for adoption at birth and I had wonderful Foster parents and I always said I wanted to give back what was given to me. By becoming a Care Companion I cannot think of a better way to give to others what was so freely and lovingly given to me. Time, Compassion, Morals. Consideration, Empathy & Love.

I am outgoing, energetic, and full of compassion. I give 110% in all I do. I became a caregiver at the age of 15 when my neighbor fell ill and I've loved it and have been doing it ever since.

I love helping people. I started out in the medical field in 99 becoming a CNA from there I've worked in hospitals, homes, and facilities. I further my education by becoming a CMA and Phlebotomist.

My main thing I love about caregiving is the fact that I treat people the way I would want my family members to be treated. Achievements I'm proud of are my daughters!! I'm a single parent of a college student and 2 more that are active in sports and good grades. I'm very proud of myself for keeping them grounded by myself.
