Becoming a caregiver happened spontaneously when a friend of mine asked me to cover her shift and care for an elderly couple- From there I knew this is what I really enjoyed doing. I love being able to help others who are in need of care and not able to do for themselves. I feel as if I am taking care of my grand-parent or eventually my mom, feels very close to home. My heart is filled with kindness love and warmth. I treat others just the way I would want someone to treat me or any of my family members. Adult care are like babies, just older, they are fragile and needs lots of affection, special attention love and care. I attended plenty of colleges but my last schooling was at Ultimate Medical Academy which I almost completed for my Medical Clinical Laboratory Assistant . I also took prior to that Patient Care Technician classes as well. I didn't complete because my family and I relocated due to my spouses job promotion-which means that now I will be attending another college to complete and obtain a license. I have two beautiful kids who keeps me on my toes daily and they bring great joy and happiness to me-just by looking at them, my two heart beats. I am looking forward in starting a new journey with a family or even with a company .

I am a dedicated caregiver with 14 years experience to elderly patient with Alzeimer/Dementia. I am friendly, cheerful, with a dependable personality to make a real differences in the lives of individual as well as their family. I was employed by a family from 10/2003-4/2014 as a full time live in caregiver to their mother and as they have said I was a Godsend. My patient fractured her leg in 2002 and was on rehabilitation when I got hired by them. She developed Dementia and needed more extensive care as years passed by. I devoted myself to my patient to improve the quality of her life. I assumed full time care in all aspects of her life including bathing, dressing, feeding, exercising and cleaning. At the end of my patients life I rarely left her side. She was bedridden for her last 18 months and because of my loving care she never had any bedsore or any skin problems. The hospice doctor and nurses marveled their patient's condition. My patient was always clean, comfortable and protected from harm. She treated me like her own daughter and even considered me a member of their family. Honesty, humility, a caring heart and love are the hallmarks of my spirit as what my employer described about me.
