About Keatrisha

I became a care giver because I had an early experience when my mothers cancer returned from being in remission from 7 years I was only 17 years old. She needed help with her daily ADL'S when she was home I enjoyed doing it for her. I still have my mother to enjoy life with. She is now healthy and strong.I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients' lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know the patients and their families and become and integral part of their lives. Seeing a smile of appreciation over just a small deed that I do. I always give 100% and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. if I can add a smile or a laugh to a client's day, that means a lot to me. it is important to laugh. Very kind and respectful towards any patient and family member. very attentive to patients needs. Ill try my best to give the patient a great day with my time spent with patient

I am unique I have experience and I am compassionate for elders that are in need. Empathy is something else I bring to the table I am all for the client. When I was a child my grandmother became sick and needed assistance from caregivers they treated her well, furthermore she was an LPN and only wanted the best interest for her patients. I thought it would be great to help elders also have a positive mind set even on a not so good day. Have patience and listen. I must be reliable for my client and the family there is a job that needs to be done and I want them to know they can depend on me. I am trustworthy and honesty is a must. I've watched aides help my grandmother from 1996 to 2004 and they showed me things everyday they came so I would be able to help out myself when they are not there. I started working in home care 2009 after graduating school for medical assisting. I bring great work ethics love and care. Everyone needs someone to depend on and that is me. Thank you
