My name is Charlotte Findley I'm 54 yrs old. I worked many years in health care. My aunt, who was Director of Nursing at a Care Center took me to work with her when I was 12 yrs old. I fell in love with the company of older people. The stories and wisdom I would crave from there on. I started volunteering at the center. My aunt said I added a little joy to their lives helping them but really it was my life that an abundance of joy did they add. Those are days I will always be greatful to have had.

Hi, I'm Alexandria! My dedication, big heart & thorough work ethic has helped me exceed in my role as a Caregiver over the last 4 years I love being able to connect with the amazing souls I've had the opportunity to work with so far. I grew up going to work with my mom in the nursing home; playing games, telling/listening to stories & building bonds with the residents. Since then, I knew I wanted to continue on that path as an adult. I've been able to help people in so many more ways than my lil brain could've thought! Helping to improve another's quality of life is the most rewarding part of this job for me[?].

I'm great caregiver by doing good job and give my patients or residents the help they want, I love to be around the elders and try to know about why are they having such behavior, I enjoy being a caregiver because I love the elders people, Personal achievement I'm always proud of is when I made them laugh or do whatever they want to do.
