About Jessica

For the past 6 years, I have followed a job track that prioritizes quality time and building relationships. This became a strong focus after a conversion I had in college, finding the purpose of my life in Jesus. Throughout my working life, my natural gifts of reflective listening, encouragement, self motivation, and inspiring others to work toward goals have been tuned and developed. I've learned also how to be self-reflecive, honest and clear in communication, and an efficient multitasker. Being asked to lead a missionary team for a year, and then doing it, is a personal achievement I look back on with gratitude because it forced me to utilize all my strengths and develop into skills I didn't think I had, like public speaking, attentiveness to detail and surrender to what I can't control. I would be a good caregiver because I'm passionate about sharing the love that I've been given- both in friendship and the tasks that come with caregiving- and helping whoever I'm with see how important they are. I will not be available to start any caregiving position until late in August 2020.

I learned and adapted to various skills and routines in order to best support my housemates with intellectual disabilities. This included getting my Home Care Aid certification. I'm in the process of becoming delegated by an RN to administer certain medications. I also encouraged creativity, proactivity, and teamwork in all aspects of community living and decision making. I've been invited to accompany our residents to promotion events to speak, and I've been invited to play music at community gatherings.

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...
