About Mercy

I once visited a nursing home in silver spring,i felt inspired by the work the nursing aides were doing for the residents.I immediately noticed that many people need help and i wanted to be part of the ones giving the needed help,after my training i went to the same nursing home for my clinical rotations and it was great helping the residents with the knowledge and skills gained in training. Interacting with the residents and meeting their needs and realising that with our help they felt better gave me the best feeling ever. I love to see everyone happy and satisfied and that why i chose being a caregiver so that i can put a smile on the face of the less unfortunate. I am a very jovial person,always ready to learn new skills and quite patient.

I have a good personality, I work well with people, and I have been a GNA and CNA for over 30 years. I have worked in a total of 5 nursing homes and one hospital, and have also worked as a private caregiver, so I am very experienced in the nursing field.

I think anyone who is a caregiver should love the job, and I can say that I definitely love the work that I do. I grew up with my grandparents who lived to be 99 and 102 years old. I enjoyed caring for them and I extend that love to the other people whom I care for. I have been a caregiver for over thirteen years, and I just love what I do. My mother is 93 years old and unfortunately the distance between us makes it impossible for me to care for her. So as a caregiver, I care for people as if they are my mother. I provide my patients with the highest level of care, the same kind that I would want my mother to receive.
