Jacquelyn B.

I am a great caregiver because I am attentive, loving, cheerful and easy to talk to. I have worked with a Dementia patient for over 5 yrs. A lot of experience in transporting clients. What attracted me to caregiving was the first time I was asked to go shopping for an elderly lady & sat and talked with her for a while. It really blessed me to see what it meant for her to have company & someone to talk to. What I enjoy most about caregiving is putting a little happiness or a bright spot in an elderly person's life.

Personality traits: I try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I am a person of the highest integrity and dress in a professional manner. I know how to balance empathy and caring in such a way that as I care for the body, the mind and soul feels cared for as well giving a sense of comfort in knowing everything's going to be alright and they feel safe and secure. The thing that attracted me to being a care giver is, I like to "Help" people. I'm interested in the wisdom an elderly person has. I enjoy being a caregiver because helping others puts a smile on their face knowing they are safe and secure in my care at maybe their most vulnerable state. One personal achievement I am proud of is being excepted into the 2019 Strathmore's Worldwide Who's Who in my occupation as a Health Care provider. I have 15 years prior experience as a NA11. I've worked in agencies with Home Health and Hospice and in a skilled nursing facility. I have experience with every aspect that it takes to care for your loved one with over 20yrs. In all. The one thing that makes me a great care giver is I listen to their needs not my agenda and I love what I do.
