I've been a caregiver for 5 years now. I have a passion with helping my clients. I really enjoy what I do. Everbody that I've work with in the past said that I'm a very sweet person and they love what I do for them.

What makes me an exceptional caregiver is my ability to place the needs of others above my own needs. I have always possed an extremely high level of empathy and compassion for others. In a nutshell I have a huge heart and I'm extremely selfless. Ive been caring for others since I was 15 and my sister became ill . She had an infant daughter so I took care of her and my niece. I also quit nursing school to care for my mother when she was placed on hospice. I find nothing more fulfilling then helping people in need. The most enjoyable part of caregiving is the relationship I develop with my clients. Everyone should have someone who genuinely cares about their well-being and if I'm able to provide them with a sense of comfort it brings me so much happiness. I love to put a smile on someone's face and lift their spirits. I am very proud of my ability to work and still pursue my education. I am in the process of obtaining my lpn.
