About Jennifer

I became a caregiver because I have always cared about they well being of others, will go out of my way to help others. Being a caregiver makes me feel good at the end of the day cause I was able to help another with their day to day life to whoms family could not be there for whatever reason. I make it a personal achievement to put a smile on each patients face during that day and make them feel like someone cares about their wellbeing other than their families. I myself have taken care of my mom for thirteen years to whom lost her eye sight do to diabetes to which also lead to renal failure as well to which passed in 2011. I personally feel that people in Health care are often there just for the pay check to where I am there not only for a pay check but for the well being of the person/patient that I'm there to take care of. You should treat each and everyone as if its your own family members.

    I have worked in the school district as substitute teacher for four years. Before that I worked as a private Nanny who also did home care work with other family members in the households. I have worked a lot with children with disabilities as a home care giver and as a para professional in the school district. I ran errands, planned schedules, answered phones, took kids to and from activities, and provided meals, helped with toilet training, and bath time. I have also worked with older family members which has always been enjoyable for me. I would drive them to and from where they needed to go, help with groceries, give them medication, laundry, assisted with feedings and other needed things around the house.
