About Yawa

I became a caregiver because I needed hours to apply for physician assistant school but I came to love the job. I love being a caregiver now because of the joy I get when I help someone become more comfortable and put a smile on their face. I love helping people because I care and have a compassionate heart for others. I worked in a dementia unit at Heritage community of Kalamazoo for two years we had a resident who would only allow me to provide care for her because of the way I approached. Being a caregiver is all about being that person someone can trust with things they can't do for themselve anymore. I am 27 years old and I live in Portage, MI, I have my own car, don't smoke, hard working, trustworthy, attentive, caring and patient. I hope to become a nurse soon so I can be a great caregiver to many more.

    Everyone needs help from time to time. I like being that for someone, and hopefully making their day nicer, too. It's the little things that make a bad day better. I am not certified, but I have had multiple jobs as a caretaker, skills coach, and mental health aide. I have experience in most skills requested, and am very comfortable performing all care needs. I am open to expanding my skills, and will put in the extra effort and research needed. Ive had training in most everything listed, including lifting, mobility, CPR, and first aid. For anything else, please feel free to ask! Thank you.
