I enjoy being a caretaker for many reasons. I love to help people and make there day easier in any way I can. I like to listen to the stories my clients tell me about everything they have done and still enjoy doing in life. I have meet so many wonderful people over the years, who have done alot of amazing things. I also enjoy learning the new things my clients have taught me as well. Baking tips, gardening tips, remodeling ideas, crafts, many enjoyable things I have learned from them. I am a very honest and hard working lady. I will always take time to listen and make sure im doing everything I can to make my client feel as taken care of and respected as possible.

I am currently a Nursing student and have been a caregiver for over 10 years. My personality traits are being compassionate, patience and having empathy. I believe empathy and understanding are absolutely necessary to patient's needs. I am detail oriented, cooperative, professional and complete tasks very quickly and accurately. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver is that I enjoy working with people and enjoy the one-on-one interactions with my patients. I believe caregiving is an extremely rewarding job when taking care of our elders who have given so much to this world is a blessing, honor and truly rewarding! I enjoy being a caregiver the most is I can make a huge difference in people's lives by providing companionship and emotional support. I always try going the extra miile to make my patient's quality of life more joyful and I help them to stay connected with their community and remain independent for longer periods of time. My most proud moments and achievement as a caregiver is knowing my patients and their family appreciates my help. It's honoring to me for the families having trust in me when leaving their loved ones with me and for welcoming me to their homes with open heart and arms! Their kindness, support along with their trust in my ability to be a care provider for their loved ones, brings comfort to me; not to mention it's extremely humbling and much appreciated!
