About Cydney

Hello, my name is Cydney! I have been a caregiver for 8 yrs. My caregiving journey begin when my great Aunt's health declined and she needed more assistance. Everyday after school I would take care of my aunt and I truly valued every moment. When my aunt transitioned I decided that I wanted to help others have that companionship as well. I have decided to stay in this field bc I love nurturing and being joyful for others.

I am a great caregiver because I actually wanted to become a nurse because I was raised by my grandmother and I watched her be a caregiver to her parents and kids and also raise me as a daughter and I am her granddaughter. My great grandmother had multiple sclerosis when I was growing up as a young child and she lived next door to us. I used to go help my grandma take care of her till she got bedridden and passed. Both of my grandfathers also had Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's I was also a full-time caregiver to one of them as a young adult. What I enjoy most about being a nurse and a caregiver is companionship. Everyone needs somebody especially the elderly it's very lonely when you get older and I love being a nurse/ caregiver to have my client feel that Most beautiful experience of Someone that actually cares.
