I have Been a personal care aide for the past four years and I love every aspect of my job. What made me gain interest in this field of work was when i first started to do child care for a family I knew back in my home town. I worked every summer for 3 summers straight for the family. Soon after i decided to become a certified childcare provider in the town of Hudson NY. Ive always loved caring for others so my interest grew outside of just childcare and i soon begin to take up companionship and Personal care and ever since then i stuck with it. I love every bit of my job even the days that are tough on both caregiver and client I always put their needs first. I make sure my clients receives the best care and more under my watch. Each and everyone of them i go above and beyond for and they deserve not just the basic care but the best. I just wanted to add a few updates. I am also now a certified phlebotomy technician, EKG Tech and also a Patient care technician.
