Maria D.

I became a caregiver because of my grand mother, any where i was she would find me to comb her hair and talk, no matter how i try to cut it short she would have some joke ready to keep me longer, it makes me happy to see the elderly smiles and know that someone cares,I have (5five years) experience working in nursing homes and hospital I am from the Caribbean, who become an American citizen with four children and a grand daughter who means the world to me,If u choose me to be your care giver you won"t regret it.

My mom was the first person that told me to become a Home Health Aide. She saw that I was a very caring, responsible and reliable person. When I first started working as an aide I realize that I really liked taken care of my patient. Right out the gate I realize this when my teacher took us to a nursing home to do our in service. I had the privilege to work with an elderly woman for eight hours. We talked all day about her family and I help her with her bath. The feeling that I had at the end of the day was so wonderful. I was so excited to start working with the elderly because I knew I could help them even if was just to talk with them I would be a good listener. Over the years I have come to realize that I am a very emotional caregiver because I get so attached to my patient . I love to get to know them and be as helpful as I can. So my name is Candis and I moved to New York in 2004. I was born in Guyana, South America. I am currently a mom and a wife. I love life and love taken care of my family and my patients. I moved back to Brooklyn from Westchester about four years now. I lived in Yonkers for over four years. I'm a great person and I really love my job .I will not disappoint you if you hire me. I am hard worker, a very good listener and a wonderful companion.
