About Amber

My care giving style is just natural. I adapt to my environment of the client/patient I'm around. I have a outgoing playful fun personality that is easy to get along with whoever you are. I was attracted to being a caregiver due to my grandmother passing in 2006. She was in a nursing home and I was young but still didn't spend the time I should have with her. Her care took a dramatic turnaround and we lost her quickly but quicker than expected. 3days and told we had a few weeks. I made a promise to her then I would make sure that I would go into the field of nursing to help and be there for others in whatever position I'm in to support them and give them the love they need to be ok. At the end of the day I know I've made a difference in someone's life. I feel full of love when someone's else is benefiting from me working. You might work so hard that you're exhausted but I promise you it does show in this field and does become accountable and rewarded. If it wasn't who cares you made someone life easy by being in it. The years of dedication I put into this field and never quit or gave up on the medical life. I fully believe in it's work.
