I never intended to become a caregiver. I fell into the position through a friend's connection and discovered that I absolutely love it (and I am amazing at it!) I am a trained and skilled healthcare provider with a background in biomechanics and rehabilitation. I have reliable transportation, am intelligent and good at managing schedules and appointments, and I have a cheerful, fun personality. I am responsible, reliable and mature. As a caregiver, I have found it incredibly rewarding to insert myself into a home that was struggling just to get by day to day, and help bring order and flow. Watching the progress my patient has made over the past few months is one of the most rewarding experience of my life. When I can see that other's lives are better because of me, it warms my soul. I am proud that I have nearly worked myself out of a job. My current position is with a recovering stroke patient. When I first started working with him, he needed help simply getting from his chair into his wheelchair. Now he is walking unassisted, dressing himself, and toileting alone. I love this family, but my days there are numbered (in a good way!).

I am from the small island of Tonga in the South Pacific. Family is the center of my life. I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters, hanging with my family is everything. Respecting our eldest is one of the core principal in my culture and I apply it to my daily lives. I would like to say that I am friendly and patient when it comes to caring for others around me no matter who you are. I am always looking for opportunity to grow personally and professionally.

I'm an experienced and passionate CNA over 10 years. I love my job however I'm allergic to cats and dogs.

All my patient love me coz they always told me I always have a smile on my face and I am very professional to handle situations and they also told me that I am very devoted for my job which is true I love my clients us my own family I always treat them with kindness and respect. I love to talk and laugh with them, I comfort them when there in pain. I've been awarded us the outstanding caregiver of the year.

I was assigned to the Crimes Against Children Division where I conducted dozens of complex investigations involving Child Abuse, Neglect and Crimes of Child Sexual Abuse. ***I also attended & graduated from Weber State University with a Bachelor's Degree Political Science and Social Sciences. ***I was the founding partner of Thurgood Development Company. We Developed & Built 8 major Senior Residential Projects in N. Utah from 1986-2017.

I am truly compassionate about my job and thrive by helping others. I am upbeat, organized and have the ability to anticipate the needs of those I am blessed to spend time with. After a career at 911, I knew I needed to find a new career where I could continue to help others. I love being a companion and listening to anything like life stories, jokes, and music. I enjoy games, TV, art projects, whatever the client would prefer. Their happiness is my absolute goal. I have received a lot of positive feedback includung messages to my employer about how much I genuinely care. I look forward to talking to you and answering any questions you may have.

I am a highly empathetic person and enjoy helping others. If I know I have helped eased someone's burden or helped them pursue their passions, I am fulfilled. I have an excellent work ethic and I'm detail oriented. My personality easily lends itself to senior care and companionship.
