About Roberta

I am a great caregiver because I am compassionate and sensitive to the needs and feelings of those in need. I know that those in need do feel emotional pain as well as physical pain and need to be comforted emotionally and physically. Those in need of care need to be told and feel that just because they may not be able to function in the capacity that they are used to or would like to this does not render them unimportant or useless or unlovable and that they can still contribute to life because they still have life and love in them that could make a difference in someone's life. I became a caregiver through taking care of my mother who passed away at age 97 years old. I like being a caregiver because it reminds me of how blessed I am to be able to use what God placed in me to make someone else feel better and do better. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that because I was able to give of myself to care and nurture someone in need of care this brightened my life to appreciate everything and not take everything in life for granted.

I decided to become a caregiver about 12 years ago while caring for my 86 year old father. He had several medical issuses some include... COPD, seizures, stoke dementia etc. After his passing i realize how important it was to able to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. I also realize we may all be face with the need of someone to assist us with ADLs, errands and so forth one day. It brings me joy knowing I've helped someone continue to enjoy a quality life despite their limitation. I currently hold a CNA certification I'm a easy-going, compassionate, funloving a little quite at times self motivated and a serious minded female. My passion is to help others make the most out of their life.
