I am a patient caregiver who understands and meets the needs of a client. I strive to make my clients' lives a little easier by directly and positively impacting their quality of life. I most enjoy jobs that offer one on one interaction. I pride myself in offering exceptional care to the elderly and their surroundings by making sure they live in a clean and comfortable environment.

I will proudly say that I'm a patient gentleman and Patience is a great way to derive success in many aspects of life. Having in mind that caregiving can be challenging sometimes, I derived success in caregiving by exercising patients and kindness towards my clients. I started caregiving by taking care of my own mother, when I saw how happy she feels by having me around, I felt blessed doing it and when she passed, I extended the same compassion to others. I really enjoy it when I notice that I have made a positive impact on the life of my client; I can remember being called God sent by the wife of one of my clients; the gentleman returned home after spending months at the hospital and rehab, he lost his ability to walk and speak. after I was called in as a caregiver, he regained his mobility and speech because we had to engage with him not just as a client but as a loved one...

The skills and experience I have as a caregiver makes me do my job with confidence. I like helping people in need and that made me have the interest of being a caregiver. I enjoy when I see my clients trust me and feels safe. Clients activities of daily living and achieving their goals. I am happy of what I do to help people in need to live happily in their homes or facility.
