About Candice

What makes me a great caregiver? I care for others as if I am caring for family. No one ever expects to need help or to be unable to do so. Dignity should be protected at all times because we never know when we will need the help of others. I have always been a firm believer in "You get what you give." And I must say I have been blessed. I try to put as much positive energy out in the world so that it comes back full circle. Life is too short and should be filled with happiness. I wanted to work in the medical field for a long time. My interest sparked at an early age. I was the only child that actually enjoyed going the hospital. Growing up, my mother was often sick and I always wanted to help her feel better. So helping others can natural to me. Years later I went to Nursing school and found my niche. Caregiver is what I do best.

I spent 11 years in the military in which I was honorably discharged at the end of 2012. I completed and received an associate degree in art while serving. I continued my education while being unemployed from the time I was released from the military until April of 2013 and earned a bachelor degree in psychology. A week later I began practical nursing school and graduated top of my class a year later and was rewarded the leadership award. I passed my state board and earned my Practical Nursing license with an IV certification. I have since worked as an admission nurse, hospice nurse, agency nurse, floor nurse, managed a long term care facility, and was a day shift manager as well as a day shift unit supervisor. I recently completed my associate's degree in science in nursing and am waiting to sit for boards for my registered nursing license. I am looking to slowly transition from the facility setting into private duty helping people in their home setting.

I believe myself to be an excellent caregiver because I'm very kind, respectful, reliable and devoted to making my client satisfied with my services. I became a caregiver because I like helping people in need. I understand everyone needs help at some point in their life, and if I can make a difference in at least one persons’ life then my goal is met. I believe I would be the best candidate for this position because I hold my services to high standards and treat my clients with the same respect I treat my loved ones. I'm very thorough with the services I provide and perform them in a timely manner. Attendance and reliability is a major concern when considering applicants. I pride myself upon being a punctual trustworthy person that most people can rely on.
