About Carys

I started volunteering at my local senior center as a teenager, and from then I knew I wanted a career with elders. I was given an opportunity to caregive 3 years ago, and I quickly worked up the latter to running a house. I have found myself gaining trust of my residents easily and maintaining a personal yet professional relationship with them. Recently I completed NA training and am awaiting my State Board testing for my CNA license.

I'm a fun, caring, outgoing person that gets along with people from all walks of life. I like to laugh and have a very good sense of humor and I care about those that are in positions that keep them from being able to care for themselves because I believe everyone needs someone to help care for them at some point in their lives and there are many people out there that aren't fortunate enough to have anyone there for them. I get along well with the elderly especially, because I believe I am an old soul at heart, and I love listening to their life experiences and stories of what life has been like for them. I can pretty much do any tasks needed of me and if I don't know how to do something Im always willing to learn new things, and catch in pretty quick. Helping care for people isn't just a job for me it's what makes me feel like I have a purpose and teaches me me things all the time. I'm punctual,reliable, and personable. I just love working with people in general and I love making people smile and feel more comfortable and at ease especially if they have a hindering disability or don't have a lot of time left. I'm just am all around great addition to have when relief from stress, worry and exhaustion has become a burden and consumes to much of a person's life and everyday routine. I'm here to help and would love to help anyone who needs it.
