About Carolyn

Registered with the State of Illinois as a Direct Care Provider. I am patient, compassionate, dependable, good listener, observant and nurturing. I enjoy doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I like being able to make a person smile by doing little things to make a person's day better. When I'm older I would like someone like myself there to help me. I currently work with Developmentally Disabled Adults and most are not able to communicate if their feeling ill, but by being very observant and developing a one-on-one relationship with each individual resident I am able to detect when my residents are feeling ill or something is wrong.

I have been a caregiver for approximately 6 years now. I decided to become a caregiver because i believe that everyone deserves a good quality of life. I had a grandmother who lived to be 112 years of age and i took on the responsibility of caring for her. i am very compassionate about what i do and i do it to the best of my knowledge. My passion in life is to care for others, helping those who need to get better to be better and also for those who just need the companionship and making the transition easy for them. i have worked with various clients of all different age and i love what i do. I am a graduate student with a degree in psychology and planning on furthering my education. i have a 6 year old daughter and i am very family oriented. I am fully dedicated to my work and i guarantee my employers will have no regrets.
