I'm a great caregiver for these reasons, I'm dependable,punctual,eager to learn,eager to help, I get alone with any and everyone,including pets.I was created for this field.I have compassion for what I do & also for the seniors I help. I am also a medical assistant. I love my career with such a passion that I knew at a young girl I wanted &needed to be in the medical field. I love been a helping hand to somsomeone that needs, or don't mind my help. I'm also a companion,friend to whomever I assist but we also become family from the time we spend together.I get to know who they are and they also get to know me.I TRULY LOVE WHAT I DO! I am a genuine person. I'm asked ?, how do I go out and beyond, honestly I don't I'm only doing a job I'm in love with. I want to assist the client and their families to maintain some normalcy in their lives. We (client, family, myself)change each other's lives. I don't consider my career a job as I love for I do. My reward doing what I love is the smiles I put on others face and the satisfaction of keeping my client safe, happy healthy, mobile and young, regardless of age or disability

My understanding of each client condition. My ability to communicate effectively with client. My patience, thoughtfulness, and a cheerful disposition. Knowledge of medical terminology and medical experience. My great sense of humor. Professional attitude and great demeanor. I had a friend who's mother was in a nursing home with dementia and her mother wondered out of the nursing home and was almost hit by a car. Since then, I developed this great part of caring for the elderly and naturally, I'm a loving and caring person. Just being able to see my client smile all day and to lighten their day up. Makes me joyful. I was able to get a client who was a diabetic, hypertensive, wounds, etc. Who was on serveral medications for various condition. Cut back on most of the medications and the doctors where amaz. Just pleases my heart. Most of all my dependebility.
