About Jessica

I became a caregiver out of opportunity and a chance to help a family I knew who needed care for one of their foster kids. While I am looking into a different career path in the future, being a caregiver in the present is extremely rewarding. I am patient and positive, I like helping people and I can't just stand by and do nothing. I started when I was 17 as a PCA and am currently a Home Health Aide, and I have learned so much, and I've gained understanding of different disabilities and how to help people with those disabilities.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy working with the elderly. I enjoy making them feel special. Making them laugh. Listen to their stories about their youth and family. I started as a live in five days a week for a couple, both in wheelchairs. After that I've taken care of three other people, two of whom passed away. I can give you references from those families. Also I have references from many friends that I've known for over twenty years. I've been a self employed live in for almost three years. After some time you get to feel like family. I've had a background check. Please let me know if you would like to meet. Thanks.
