About Sophia

Adaptable and motivated individual seeking various and new opportunities to include in my career path in the field of Psychology. I strive to learn, grow and apply knowledge to help others and make this life a better place. Genuinely compassionate with a natural connection to people while following policy and ethical guidelines. Aspire to further education to either go into nursing or counseling. My grandmother had dementia and I took care of her the best I could until her death and since then have enjoyed spending time with elderly. I love hearing stories and receiving wisdom passed down! I learn so so much and I love learning new things. It's my pleasure to help make someone's life a little easier and makes my day to see another happy. The generation older than mine did their share to give my generation what we have now, so I feel it's our generations duty to take care of our elders. I also put myself in the position, that someday I will need care so I give the attention I would want myself. The best.

I come from a family that cared for each other at home whenever necessary. Our family stayed at home and was cared for by other family members. I got the best lessons on caring for the vulnerable and elderly that way. I have been a caregiver for around 20 years and love going into the homes of people who need someone to take care of them in order for their lives to continue to function normally without disruptions in routine that would be debilitating to them. I am proud of giving my time and energy to help others lead a more fulfilling life when they are no longer able to accomplish that on their own.

I became a caregiver because I love people. I am an emotional being and I understand that everybody experiences life different than I. I take pride in being trusted to help people, especially when the goal is to achieve the highest possible quality of life. I want people to always feel cared for and to know that they matter.
