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 13 years experience as a Cna and 20 years experience in the healthcare field. The reason I decided to become a caregiver is because of my grandmother, she turned I'll around 2003 and I stepped in to help take care of her. I think being a caregiver is my calling and something that I love and enjoy doing.
