About Lavette

My personality traits and expertise that helps me be a great caregiver is that being able to understand and be patient with the needs of elderly clients. I am able to empathize and understand what others are feeling. I am able to interact with patient and their loved ones in a polite and professional manner. The thing that attracted me to being a caregiver is seeing my dad being paralyzed and helping him out and taking care of him. I enjoy helping people and making them smile. A personal achievement I am proud of is finishing up my medical billing and coding degree.

ASHLEY JANAE G.

ASHLEY JANAE G.

$16.00/hour · Albany, GA
Hello world My name is Ashley Gibbs, I'm originally from Miami, Florida where I spend my whole life there. I raised by my grandmother, seeing her struggle around the house motivated me to help her in anyway that I can. She encouraged me to be respectful, honest and to never give up. I helped around the neighborhood with the youth and the elderly, I was a part time caregiver to a lady Name Viola, she depended on me to give her love, trust and a helping hand. I love to help others who are in need no matter what it is, sometimes just listening to someone problems or even achievements I'm always one phone call away. I move to Albany, Ga August 2019 to make a change in scenery, I transferred my career at Walgreens to the location up here. You meet all types of people, until one day I met a courageous, cheerful and loving lady, who was disabled it was something about her that I had to help her. She began telling me what she was going through and I couldn't do nothing but listen and the fact that she was blind everyone would take advantage of her I took her in for 3 months made sure she ate, shower, I brushed her hair made sure kept up with her medications, hygiene and we also went out to get her some fresh air. She told me That I was an amazing caregiver and others would love to have me in there presence. She said Ashley I may can not see but your energy is so pure. I'm here to give others that same kind of happiness. I live by the saying LOVE CONQUERS ALL
