About Erica

I became a caregiver because I wanted a job that would be meaningful and fullfilling. I hope that as I'm serving that I can brighten others day and brighten my day as well. I like getting to know those I am caring for. I love finding out their life stories and who they are on a personal basis. I like that caregiving I can move around and not be stuck behind a computer all day. I feel its a simple job, but very rewarding. A personal achievement I'm proud of is completing an 18 month mission for my church. It was one of the hardest yet most rewarding things I've done. I met so many wonderful families and people. I formed so many friendships and truly learned how to turn outwards. I have never been happier in my life than when I was on my mission serving others. I am the youngest of 8 kids. Being in a large family I learned how to work hard and eat fast! I love playing sports, doing crafts, and sharing my musical talents. I enjoy spending time with friends and family trying to have fun in everything I do. I enjoy working hard and taking naps. I love people and being a caregiver allows me to expand that love.

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 feel it's very important to help keep ones dignity along with self confidence. I try to treat others the way I would like my loved ones treated. I'm patient, caring, compassionate, punctual, honest, detailed oriented, well groomed, clean, reliable. I enjoy keeping a client active as long as it is safe. I have served people in the community & through religious callings. I've envolved my children when they were young so they'd be comfortable serving others as well. I became a caregiver because I need to work and I want to enjoy working. I feel I have contributed in helping many enjoy life no matter the circumstances.
