My name is Brenda, I've have been a caregiver for 3 years. I have worked for a company called Consumer Direct Care in Florida. I have recently been fingerprinted by the local Bay County Sheriff Department and background check I also have a up todate T B certificate. The reason that I like being a caregiver to the elderly people is because me and my grandmother was real close all my life and I realize that as you get older it's hard for you to do things yourself and you do need help. I also liked you interact with them as far as reading and crafts. I always tell people that work with the elderly just treat them like family and you'll do a good job. I will not treat anybody differently than how I treat my own 82 year old mother. I am a Mimi of of one grandson and another grandbaby on the way. I am a people person I love being around people and talking to them and caring for others.
