Deboria A.

I have always had a heart for caring for people but my passion grew stronger when my mother passed away. I love being able to help a love one with everyday living. Not only assisting them with everyday care but keeping them as independent as possible. There are many things that keep me interested in being a caregiver but the most important one,I can be there for someone else's love one. I am a certified nursing assistant of 6 years,4 years of mental health and geriatric.

-I show great qualities that will make me a great caregiver. These qualities include compassion, attentiveness, and dependable. A caregiver must gain trust from their "clients/patients", and I'm willing to give them just that. I'm respectful and understand the importance of quality of life. -I've always had an interest for caregiving because I feel during this time in their life is when they need all the love and support the most. They want someone who will be by their side each day to be a support whether it's to listen to them, provide light housekeeping, or assistance with personal care. -To make a difference in someone's life, and to be honest, I may be the only one to make a difference for them. This is what I enjoy most about being a caregiver. -A persona; achievement that I'm proud of is, "perseverance". I'm always finding myself in challenging situations, and I always find the motivation that is needed to change any situation or circumstances that I'm facing. This has allowed me to become a better person who is willing to do anything for the next person. It has allowed me to see things through different perspectives and to apply it to my personal life.
