I am a great caregiver because I naturally have an urge to help others. I have always placed a priority on helping other people. I want to make the world a better place and I do it with one home care patient at a time. I can be counted on to be there. Those needing home care services need a reliable and dependable caregiver. Trustworthy. Most people who need home care services are in a vulnerable position. They are inviting someone into their home. I am trustworthy. Flexible. I am also prepared to go with the flow, being flexible, even if a rigid schedule isn’t being followed. I have the ability to establish trust with clients and garner a supportive connection. I am a specialist with organization and setting up system that allow my clients to live an uncluttered existence. I am also a phenomenal HEALTHY cook! As a lifelong education (with three college degrees), I think it is important, as feasible, to connect clients to current events and encourage activities or exposure which would stimulate their senses. I first became interested in caregiving ten years ago when my grandmother came to live with me after a stroke. I cared for her until she passed after which my grandfather developed cancer from which he ultimately passed. I learned from the experience so much and through it formed a lifelong commitment to caring for others through their life challenges.
