I became a caregiver 7 years ago at the age of 16. My mother is a registered nurse and encouraged me to start in health care. I have always had the heart and compassion to help others in need especially those who were no longer able to help themselves. I keep residents smiling, uplifted, encouraged, and try to maintain as much independence as possible all while providing a service and becoming a friend. The relationship I have with most of my residents and families are one of instant familiarity and as if I'm part of the family. I have traveled the world almost and witnessed how others lived. I always try to give back to the people who appear to be in need. Although there are times i may need something's if someone seems to need it more than me I reach out an extended hand, shoulder, food, or even as simple as a smile, anything I can. I have worked in healthcare ever since I could be employed. Helping others is my life , i don't know any other way to put it. I take pride and joy and peace in my heart knowing that I am doing what god called me to do.
