Hi! My name is Julie and I have been in the caregiving field for over 15 years now. I have a B.A in Psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz. I pride myself in being a kind, caring, empathetic, conscientious individual. I went to school and pursued a degree in Psychology because I wanted to work in a field of service. Hence, I have spent the last 20 years assisting others in pursuing the best quality of life that is possible for them.

1) I am a compassionate person and greatly care to improve the environment to assist the client. 2) It is a rewarding experience to see the client flourish with the care that is being provided. 3) Challenging myself to develop new skills daily. 4) I greatly appreciate an ethical, healthy, and encouraging environment both as a team player and as a care provider.

I became a cna because my great grandma who raised me became a diabetic and had to have both of her legs amputated. I was around 11or 12. She learned how to walk with new prostetics and her walker. Also I had to administer her insulin at times. She passed shortly after I turned 18. I dedicated my life to her.

I have worked as a care for over 20 years. I enjoy caring for my residents. It's so rewarding. There is nothing more that's gives me the passion to wake up every day and put a smile on the residents face.

1. What makes me a great caregiver is the fact that I love the job I do; which is providing care for people in need as I would care for myself or expect others to care for me. I don't belong to the class of caregivers who believe they are not being payed enough for this job. I love caregiving with all my heart, body and soul. 2. I became a caregiver after seeing my mom providing everyday care for my grandpa. Later on I came across an ad looking for caregivers in a retirement home; right there I realized I could provide help/care for the elderly and sick who needed it most. It was completely born out of compassion for people who needed care but have no one to care for them like my mom cared for my grandpa. 3. There is no satisfaction greater than putting smiles on the face of people who can't offer you anything other than gratitude. Seeing my residents and their families happy after providing care for them is such a great feeling. I love the fact that I can make them feel loved and protected. 4. My achievements as a caregiver are too many to count. On several occasions I have detected early signs of stroke amongst my residents even when my coworker and supervisors doubted me; but on all occasions, paramedics and doctors on arrival always congratulate me for detecting those signs. Being able to avert an imminent threat to the life of my residents is fulfilling.

What makes me a good caregiver would be I'm very compassionate I'm honest caring loving and I love to help people what push me into the medical field I volunteered for a year-and-a-half with my grandmother until she moved to Sacramento and I like what I did so I went and got my CNA I'm a certified CNA and that's the accomplishment that I am most proud about
